As with most other competitive professions, breaking into consulting roles has a lot to do with networking. Unfortunately, candidates get one chance to make a first impression. Meeting people early before you are polished will end up burning a lot of bridges. For example, after a very disorganized meeting the consultant will come back and skewer the coffee chat, recommending everyone else in the firm not to meet with this person.

Therefore, offering more value, along with chocolate-glazed pastries will enable you to secure bigger projects faster, right? Wrong. Well, the pastries may help, but not for the reason you think.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the cult/culture of elitism. The entire premise of elitism is hierarchy. Those who are “elite" are presumed to be better than those that are not. Those who aren’t “elite” often feel "less than” their counterparts. An Ivy League degree makes you more elite. A larger bank account makes you more elite. A more successful career makes you more elite.

When I was Stanford, I took a sociology class focused on the topic of status. It was fascinating. The big lesson learned from that class is your social status determines a large part of your influence. Things like ethnicity, gender, height, and educational achievement determine how others perceive the validity of your ideas. For example, if you take two identical resumes -- one with an obviously man’s name versus one with an obviously woman’s name, the man will get more interview invitations.

The lawyers have a saying about the courtroom: Never ask a witness a question for which you don’t already know the answer. When you walk into a prospective buyer’s office, there are only six things that are usually said first (e.g., “What can I do for you?” or “What can you do for me?”). Be prepared for all of them.

There are close to 50 production cars (not multi-million dollar limited run cars) on sale in the US today that cost a minimum of $100,000, from a low of some SUVs to the high of a Rolls Royce. You can see most of them on the road every day. (Interesting statistic: Over 90% of Americans have never seen a Rolls on the road.) When I grew up, a Cadillac was considered out of reach and it cost about $6,000 (that’s $57,000, more or less, in today’s money.).

Case Interview Math is about analyzing data to help you create an informed recommendation to solve a case. You probably already know how to multiply, add, subtract, divide, and understand the concept of percentages. But, you need to understand what the math and the results mean. Often candidates without business backgrounds or first-timers of case interviews misunderstand the whole concept behind the case interview math.
