Former BCG consultant Jason Riddell leads a live case interview focused on a struggling deli department at a national supermarket chain. With stagnant profits, the deli business needs a turnaround strategy - and it’s up to the candidate to crack the case.

Follow along as the candidate tackles structuring, analysis, mental math, and data interpretation under pressure, just like in a real BCG interview.

After the case, Jason breaks down what the candidate did well, where they stumbled, and how to improve - sharing practical takeaways for anyone preparing for consulting interviews.
