Really depends on the interviewer. Some of them are more of an analytical conversations, others your standard case format.

like

OW cases run a pretty wide range, some asking a very specific question that takes structure to answer well, and others very open ended but intended to see which angles of a complex problem you engage with

@A1, I never said the case wasn't analytical. I just said the former wasn't necessarily a case..

Mine was accelerated recruiting so idk if this is standard, but had a call with brief situation and super open-ended questions. Not at all like other case interviews I had done

Following

Mine they asked me to estimate the operating income of Starbucks. No additional direction, but they made me go really granular with assumptions.

Ow1, a case isn't analytical? Do you know what you're talking about??

Go deep. Mini cases for me. Not the hard part at all

My phone case was on conducting a knockout tournament. Had to do a break even analysis to see if it will be profitable. It was very analytical. Kinda like a puzzle I would say. Later interview was on how many ATMs should a bank open. You had to ask questions for data.

@C1 and D2 I'm advisory not DC unfortunately :(

Ok. I guess I can get that. It's just that cases are a subset of analytical conversations. It's best not to describe a case as something "other" than an analytical conversation, as you did.

Brain teaser, market sizing and market entry cases. LOTS of numbers and weirdly technical questions on financial statements.

Hello all. I have applied for almost 600 jobs over LinkedIn since we shifted to Dubai in January 2022, I received a call back only from 1 employer, I went through the interview process with them but the result was rejection. It's been 8 months since the move but there is no luck in finding a job here in the HR domain. Can someone help me with understanding the market in the UAE related to the HR domain?

Hi Fishes,

I got an offer from PwC. The joining date that I had agreed from my side was 2 June. But I don't know that even in probation the NP is 90 days (it was mentioned in the release doc as 1 month but I didn't take that screenshot as proof). I told the whole issue to my recruiter and she sent a confirmation mail stating that she will revise my joining date by 90 days without issue. Is there any chance they can revoke the offer? I have put down my papers already.
