There are some websites where you can practice using real case questions from bain bcg and mckinsey. It also helps to know someone who has been through the process to take these questions to and have them help proctor amd administer the questions for you

Google “...insert business school name... case book”. Then use it to interview and be interviewed by others you are prepping with. Repeat ~20+ times

I used Case in Point by Marc Cosentino. More importantly, approach the case interview as a fun problem to solve WITH your interviewer

Typically any market sizing questions?

Market sizing might be a part of the case, but isn’t a case on its own. For example you might have a case where a client is thinking about entering a new market. Over the course of that case you’ll want to size the market (along with a number of other analyses), but you won’t likely get a “case” that is: what is the size of the x market

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!

I hate Kirkland for what they did to me.

Recruiters can’t or aren’t helping. I don’t know what to do, but this is a nightmare

After many years of doing purely corporate law, I recently moved inhouse to do structured finance. Honestly, I am in unknown territories.

I need some legit feedback on what is it like to be a UXD at companies like Accenture?
They claim to do a lot of research oriented designs, as everyone. But is that really the case or it's like some other service based companies where the UX is almost vague, and happens mostly based on what the managers think to be good?

Does UX have any value or it's just drafting wireframes based on ideations by the managers and then UI designs?
