Case interviews tend to be more informal with more emphasis on your thinking and problem solving skills than your structure, though being MECE, having sharp mental math and market sizing skills, and using a structure doesn't hurt. Be insightful and articulate: prove that you have the industry knowledge to show up and add depth, value, and expertise to the firm in your particular area.

This is not true. There is a case.

Thank you all for your thoughtful responses :) interview is next week 🤞🏼 additional advice and tips always welcome.

I’m from the knowledge team. Don’t join! KT gets treated as second class and KT leaders constantly try to compare your role with consulting roles. Pay is also pretty abysmal compared to Consulting and promotion is very tenure based not performance based.

Happy to help! It’s neither too bad nor too rosy. Best to understand very well what you’re getting into :)

I got selected in LTI, the offered CTC is less than my current CTC, HR says they have budget constraints.

They were aware about my current CTC right from the first call.

I also shared the counter offer that I'm holding. (Offered CTC > Current CTC)
Switch won't make sense if I don't get the basic hike.

How can I convince them to revise my offer? YOE -3.2 yrs

I have 5-6 YOE and have been in an Account Management role for most of my career - is it worth making the switch to PMM at a smaller firm or sticking with what I know at a FAANG? Both would have relatively similar comp. Thanks in advance for your input!
