“Television, radio, social media. The 24/7 news cycle plows forward mercilessly on our desks, in our cars and in our pockets.

And most of it is bad.”, is more a manifestation of the infuriation of the author Joseph Prince than just a normal quote.

Cracking Consulting Interviews - How To Approach Guesstimate Questions

Cracking Consulting Interviews - How To Approach Guesstimate Questions

Guesstimates are an important part of any Consulting Interview. The whole point of these questions is to give the interviewer a peek into your thinking process and problem solving abilities. The focus of these questions is more on how you approach them than deriving actual answers to the questions. It's about structuring the approach, asking the right questions, and communicating the same to your interviewer. Guesstimates is a tool that not only lets the interviewer know if you have the right bent of mind for a consulting job but is also a good indicator if you will enjoy a job as a Consultant or not. To help MBA Aspirants understand career paths at an early stage, InsideIIM, in association with MISB Bocconi, conducted Konversations on Consulting Careers, where the Founder and CEO of InsideIIM - Konversations, Ankit Doshi, gave a session on one of the most important topics when it comes to Consulting - Guesstimates.
