Hmu I'm looking for a casing buddy too!

Victor Cheng’s Case Frameworks + YouTube videos are a good start. Keep in mind his focus is on interviewee-led usually and McK does interviewer-led. Otherwise, a good resource

PrepLounge is an amazing online resource where you can also find lots of people willing to practice live cases.

Hello guys,
Today I had salary negotiation with
Capgemini , they are offering 15 lpa with 10% variable. I feel this is a bit low based on current market standards. I asked for 20 initially, but they are not willing to go beyond 15 without any counter offer. HR flat out rejected 20 saying business will not approve. what is the max they will give after providing counter offer? And if i join around November, when will i be eligible for next appraisal? They are offering c1 band.
