Video Library

Watch the interview before you sit in it

32 videos across 6 shelves, and 7 playlists that put them in an order worth following. Every video here is free on YouTube, made by the creator named on its card, and plays through YouTube’s own player. We host nothing. What we add is the curation: each video carries our own summary of what it teaches and a link to the stage, case, or drill it pairs with, so watching turns into practice instead of procrastination.

Recorded Mock and Live Cases

Full cases played end to end by real candidates, most of them in front of former firm interviewers. Watch one before you run one, and again after, to hear what changed.

Case Walkthroughs and Frameworks

Solved cases and framework lessons, including firm practice cases worked step by step. The structure shelf: how a case is taken apart before the numbers start.

Case Math and Market Sizing

Estimation and arithmetic under interview conditions. Short, mechanical, and meant to be paired with timed drills until the techniques are reflexes.

Finance Technicals and Accounting

The three statements, the DCF answer, and full models built in Excel by practitioners. This shelf feeds the Finance Wing and the Accounting and Modeling track.

Behavioral and Fit

The other half of every interview: why this firm, why you, and the stories that carry both. Build your story bank against these.

Data and Excel Skills

Pivot tables first, then SQL: the working data skills analyst roles assume on day one and screen for more often than they admit.

Playlists

Ordered sequences with a job to do. A playlist is the difference between watching videos and following a plan: each one states its purpose, and each video earns its place in the order.

Excel and Data Starter Pack

From a first pivot table to a first SQL query in four sittings. The last video is the long build-along. Save it for a weekend and keep a spreadsheet open throughout.


How this shelf works

The same rules as our external case index: list, describe in our own words, and link. The videos belong to their creators, this site is not affiliated with any of them, and channel names appear only to identify the source. If a video is yours and you want its listing changed or removed, write to legal@hackingstrategyfinance.com and we will act on it within five business days.


How to use a video

Watch one lesson

Pick a single topic. Preview it first to see the length, the level, and what it covers.

Run the paired Drill

Each video links the Drill that tests the same skill. Do it while the method is fresh.

Say it out loud

Take the same skill into a case with the Interviewer. Reading and watching are not the same as speaking.
