ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Mini case interviews are often the first test you face at McKinsey, Bain, and BCG.
And if you’ve heard them called market sizing questions, you’ve already met the most common version.
But a mini case interview plays by different rules than a full case, and the interviewer isn’t going to guide you through it.
Namaan breaks down what to expect, how mini cases are scored, and how to finish one the right way.
