How to Answer a Case Interview Question You Have Never Seen Before

Episode 125 of Interview Prep with Fexingo tackles a terrifying interview scenario: the case question you have no practice for. Lucas walks through a real-world example from a McKinsey final-round case in 2025 — estimating the market for electric cargo bikes in Berlin — and shows how a structured approach beats domain knowledge. Luna pushes back on whether frameworks can backfire, and they share a four-step mental model any candidate can use: clarify, structure, calculate, sanity-check. If you've ever frozen in an interview, this episode gives you a repeatable method to stay calm and sound analytical even when you are making up numbers on the spot. #CaseInterviews #ConsultingHiring #McKinsey #InterviewPrep #BehavioralQuestions #Careers #JobSearch #Recruiting #StructuredThinking #MentalModels #MarketSizing #ElectricCargoBikes #BerlinStartups #Frameworks #InterviewTips #HiringManagerInsights #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
