I did it years ago. What I remember was it was a very long prompt but not terribly difficult. Just take notes as quickly as possible and try to structure a comprehensive answer

Profitability is MECE by definition because it’s either revenue or cost. What is important is that whatever structure you come up should be MECE. Not all cases have an obvious structure like profitability does

Thank you will take into consideration. I feel my maths will let me down. Any advice?

Structure your approach for the math questions well. That matters more than getting the math right

Hmm I can’t remember. A couple of weeks? Say 2 or 3? I used the regular business school case books to start and then crafting cases and case coach for courses on casing

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

I interviewed at KPMG on 11/14 and got a verbal offer the next day but since then waiting to hear from them. Been following up continuously but the partners are not replying it seems. In the meanwhile i have an offer from BT offering 90k for 4 yrs of experience which seems to be fair. I am just unsure whether to accept the offer as I was waiting for kpmg reply as I want B4 on my resume which apparently is a big deal. Is BT also good on resume for future employers ??

Just graduated with Aerospace Engineering degree. I am interviewing for multiple positions at once with different companies. One gave me an offer and they want me to get back to them within 2 days. I still have other interviews scheduled and some for higher paying jobs (around 90k) What should I do?
I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.
