That's the critical ingredient - "practice".Īlthough it's certainly ideal to practice in person with someone so you can practice your communication and adaptability when you are challenged on your logic, you can still get a lot out of practicing yourself. ![]() The more they practice, the better they get. ![]() And there are also some people out there who virtually never hit diminishing returns with practice. However, if you have no business experience/intuition whatsoever, you'll probably need to do 50 at minimum - I had a pre-med friend who still needed a lot of improvement at his 30th case, and I doubt 40 would've been enough for him either. Recruiting went quite well for me, as I reached the final round at 3/4ths of the places I interviewed before I took an equity research offer instead. Looking back, I think I plateaued earlier than most people, since I had pretty good business intuition to start with (probably thanks to my multiple internships in finance beforehand). Personally, I hit diminishing returns around my 20th case, although I still did about 30 by the end. That said, the ideal number varies from person to person. I went through consulting recruiting last year, and from what I've seen, 25-50 is not at all uncommon for successful candidates.
