Mid-week update

I went to Boston as planned on Wednesday to have two quick 30-minute interviews for a position in The Netherlands, which went quite well I think. Both interviewers were very nice and informal, the cases went by so fast and I am happy overall with the way things have gone. I am waiting for a response any time.

I received a phone call on Wednesday night to inform me that I was retained for decision round interviews for a consultant position based in Toronto. I am flying there on Sunday night, and interviewing all day on Monday. Consulting firms make and communicate decisions very quickly, normally a few hours to a couple of days after the interviews.

On Thursday morning, a friend called to ask a favour. He asked that if I could drive him to the airport, I could keep his car all weekend… After much consideration, I accepted to help him. I therefore have a 325ci for the weekend. There have been talks of going to the Amish Country tomorrow Saturday.

Hi Jure,

Congrats on getting into INSEAD. Just google "case interview" and you will get tons of information. Also, there are practice case interviews on the sites of the different consulting firms. Try McKinsey.com, Bain.com, BCG.com

As for the remuneration, I would point you towards the INSEAD website, where you can find statistics from the last promotion. It is too early for ours, but I suspect the market for MBAs will be good for us.
