In this episode, my guest is Aditya Kothari. Aditya is a Senior Business Analyst at Capital One. He is a self-taught case interview aficionado who has helped dozens of students crack their case interviews.
Case interviews are a common method used by consulting firms, and increasingly, by tech companies to assess a candidate’s problem-solving abilities and analytical skills. During a case interview, candidates work with the interviewer to analyze, identify key issues, and propose solutions for a business problem or scenario. 
I’ve had the pleasure of being coached by Aditya for when I had a case interview call. I remember feeling just blown away by how adept he had gotten, not only with the ins and outs of a case interview but also his ability to conduct extremely effective mock interviews for… a rather lucky group of peers. 
This discussion will be helpful to anyone who’s currently preparing for an upcoming case interview, or any hoping to build a career in Business Analytics. We cover tools, resources, and strategies to not just excel at case interviews, but how to curate your resume for the Business Analyst position of your dreams. All sections are time-stamped on both YouTube and Spotify.
Finally, in keeping with our theme of learning from someone that’s just two steps ahead instead of a full-blown expert, I want to emphasize that this discussion focuses on the anec-data that Aditya successfully worked with. My goal is to merely highlight what he did successfully to get where he wanted to get - and what you can do to learn from him.
