    This clip is an excerpt of episode 10. 3 Vicious Traps of Profitability Cases, where we talk about three traps that most candidates bring upon themselves when solving profitability cases and how to avoid them. If you can avoid those traps, you will find it much easier to solve easy and tough profitability cases and place yourself ahead of the 80-90% of candidates who aren't aware of these traps.

Absolutely Incredible Insight

These guys are fantastic. Honestly, you’re shooting yourself in the foot if you’re interested in Strategy/Management Consulting and you don’t listen to these guys. They’re so open, insightful and easy to follow, providing some super useful information into the world of case prep and consulting - all for free - as well general advice for anyone who wants to think with a structured approach. Much appreciated Bruno & Julio 👌🏾

There’s a bit to do on the editing

E.g. the first episode starts in the middle of a sentence.
