Any advice to prep & do well on case interviews while dealing with low confidence, depression, etc.? Feeling like I’m just going to mess up my opportunities.

I find that I am typically happier and more confident later in the week. Identify a day you are typically “up” and schedule the interview for that day. The day prior, try to do activities that boost your mood and /or confidence. I did this before my last interview and it made a difference. Good luck! 👍🏻 you got this.

Thank you!

I did this and finally got into MBB...only to ruin it by being sad almost immediately

I’m so sorry to hear this was your experience and it’s definitely something I’m concerned about as I search for my next job.
If they didn’t respect and value you, their loss! Maybe you won’t make as much money or have the fancy name on your resume, but I’m sure you’ll find something that’s a lot more fulfilling.
I’m not qualified to help and I urge you to talk with someone about all this, but happy to chat if you just need another ear. ❤️ Life’s too short for us to grind for nothing.

About month ago I was diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD) and had to go through cardiac catheterization to get a stent.
I am in mid 30s and it's unbelievable that i have got this. Have been quite down mentally for last few weeks, and don't think if I can sustain the consulting life anymore.
I am working hard to stop the progression of disease and potentially reverse it. Hope things work out.
