Case study interviews are particularly prevalent in the United States and Brazil's consulting sectors (McKinsey, BCG, Bain) and tech companies. In Brazil, while the term is increasingly used in Portuguese as 'entrevista de estudo de caso,' many professionals in São Paulo's corporate hub still use the English term 'case interview' directly. This interview format reflects American management consulting culture and has become a benchmark for assessing strategic thinking in competitive hiring processes across both countries.
