I feel developing world approach was incorrect. People read a lot in these countries problem is we have not reached out to them. If they have resources to read online this can be game changer.

Who’s gonna make the cows run everytime?

Well structured answer.. however, Rachel jumped into an assumption that it is revenue growth and not user growth or time watched or movies watched. Would’ve been interesting to look at different aspects

for the math part is that only I am getting different answers? 2023 1.2 mio times 1.5 *1.5*1.5 = 9.75? For 50% of CAGR

Its not the numbers themselves that are intimidating but the agility with which one has to process, interpret and tie back to the larger picture. Nice case though.

Why not look into the increasing costs too? It doubled...

That was difficult :)

does the interviewer just not ask 'why consulting?' if it's covered in your answer for walk me through your resume? is that a good thing?

I was following along solving the case and during the second quant analysis it was much easier and seemed the most straightforward approach to find revenue loss by multiplying the percentage of subscription sharing by the revenue, rather than calculating with the number of subscribers and monthly subscription cost, which should just be the revenue anyways. Why did the interviewer lead this case in this inefficient calculation method? .25*300,000,000 instead of .25*1,700,000*10*12

At the stage where interviewee is asked which product feature to drop, why does he drops "user group selection", I feel user group selection is very crucial for experiment's success implication. Also, what did the interviewee mean by "user interaction" as a feature in user stories? Is it the engagement related aspect of email, (if so), then it would get captured in Campaign creation.

Nice case. Too bad that the preparer chose to focus on employee costs. Labor force availability/shortage is a macro indicator and should not be viewed as a barrier to entry in an industry that doesn’t require niche/expert know-how. It would just impact your salary costs going forward and would result in somewhat lower margins than observed historically.

Surprised not to see any analysis on Sales and Customer Support roles vs Mkt and Tech/product related to productivity. Specially since they are mostly within the 50mi of the office, and team dynamics are very different, customer experience declined and growth declined.

I am a risign senior and i was wondering if this is MBA level or this would also be for associate level?

The candidate does not engage the interviewer and just talks by himself far too much.

You missed out on the important parameter of time required for the plants and trees to grow from the seed/sapling until the harvest. Do think it's an important parameter to consider?

is this for an undergraduate level hire or MBA/ lateral hire?

Maybe, from my point of view the candidate could be more structured in the brainstorming question "Which technology could the CEO fall into love in the next couple of years)": Here, the candiate could have stick again to the 3 steps in the value chain and sort ideas to the steps accordingly e.g. comissioner tools (Sorting); AI/ML for optimized trucks (Packaging) or Drones (Deliery) etc. Otherwise, thank you very much for the case!

Last question was mistyped

I got all of them a tiny bit faster

Just simply a test, no? How do you react to the unexpected? Do you get anxious, mad, etc, or stay composed?

Very helpful video. I have one question regarding the fact that the interviewee outlined his framework in the beginning but he does not ultimately touch on most of the points in his framework nor ask many questions about them. Is it common to state an entire framework out once without divining into the specifics like this? If the interviewer hadn't prompted him with new questions/graphs is the idea that he would have dove deeper into the specifics of his framework?

Shout out to the interviwee... I enjoyed watching this

They kinda slow

It’s astonishing how quickly he is moving through this case.

Loved the way this turned out to be collaborative and a discussion. Not only the candidate did a good job, the interviewer also did a great job in being a helpful, thoughtful and teammate. This shows a lot about being collaborative from both ends.

how are they calculating the % profit margins so quick in the quant chart(7.42), does anyone have any tips please ?

The best solution is to look for the biggest square circumscribed in a circle of radius 5. Then divide 40 into the length of that area, same with 25. Finally, multiply both results. From Pitagoras theorem, one can get 2*a=2*sqrt(c^2 /2) Where “c” is the radius of the circle, and “2*a” is the length of the square side. Replacing c=5 results in 10*sqrt(0.5) ≈ 7 Then 40/7=5.71≈6 25/7= 3.57≈4 But values must be rounded up. Then the final answer is 6*4=24

If the valuation is 3,6 billion and the asking price is 3,0 billion, why is it not an interesting target? It seems to me the company is undervalued and therefore should be considered further

Thank You 😊

Not a good solution.

Hi there, Thanks for making such a awesome video for us. Just a quick question, how long we can think of the clarifying questions? Is there any way we could speed up?

Rally detailed and excellent interview though it was hard to keep up with all of the details.

Personally I would have started with a structure of how to approach the answer but otherwise the diving into the metrics by user type than roll it up to DAU makes sense

Had to watch this 3 times but the take home point of this interview was really Matthew’s clarifying question of what the goal of this “experiment” for and this led to his drill down of the metrics to ultimately tie back to this goal

This interviewee broke down the question very gracefully. Great video

The most effective video I've ever seen. Thank You

This was great, thanks for sharing! Very helpful prep, specifically how to discuss harder to quantify KPIs

Thanks for you both! Good work.

Too many ads on your channel

That Bain Guy is super irritating, cant stop touching his beard or ears, not sure if he has ADHD or is just bored!

This was really helpful and I felt like it was a true mock interview.. not scripted. More relatable than some other videos, while being very helpful!

I think hybrid model should also be analyzed, as this might help boost productivity to desirable rate and at the same time have higher retention rate.

I would have done this differently. Square area = 40x25=1000 sq ft. Circular area per hotspot = pi x r^2 = (3)(5)(5) = 75. Therefore you need at least 1000/75 = at least ~15 hotspots + some buffer for inevitable overlap

Oh...nice❤❤❤

Pied Piper t-shirt is Superb! 😂 Love it!

How is this a bad investment?Why is the 5 year ROI important? Considering a 100k annual profit, doesn’t this investment have an annual ROE of 20%? This seems a good investment. Can someone help me?

Wrong calculation

I have watched both the interviews that Jesse Lau has been on for this channel, and they were both so full of information and had some very smart insights. I would love to see him in more interviews, they are very very helpful. And you can clearly see that he really enjoys his work too!

thanks for this 😊

If this is a tricky question then i'm on the wrong planet
