It's July and case prep is heating up as interview season comes around. Today's episode is a case interview demonstration in Bain's style of interview.

Our two stars - Divya Agarwal (former McKinsey Assoc. Partner, case coach) and Toma (4th year PhD) - demonstrate what to expect in a Bain interview. The case features a PE firm considering an acquisition of a pizza chain.

Can you solve the case alongside Toma? Follow along with a pencil and paper!
