I have high functioning anxiety. I’m also looking for a new role at a MBB/T2 firm, and prep for case/behavioral on a daily basis. But I just feel that I am never good enough, that there’s always something I should be doing to better prepare, and feel very guilty whenever I am not studying. I also have doubts that I’ll bomb my interview, and that all this prep will be for nothing since I haven’t heard back from any of my top firms. Will it get better?

Are there aspects / outcomes of interviews that matter more than others? Just had an interview with a T10 where I think I nailed the why MBA, why this school, how you’ll contribute, etc., but the delivery on some of my behavioral questions was pretty meh.

Still think it went ok overall, but hoping that’s not an automatic ding. Student led interview for context.

Hi! Does anyone here have interview/work experience with Acquis Consulting?

They’re a small boutique firm in NYC. A recruiter reached out to me bc they’re trying to grow their team with ppl who have experience in T&E (I have 5+ YOE). My second round interview is this week and it will be based on “behavioral & critical case analysis components” but I’m not sure what kind of cases to expect since T&E is very niche. Also trying to get an idea of comp package.

Any insight is appreciated!!
