Anyone have any experience case prepping as an experienced consulting hire? I am actively interviewing, but finding the case interviews tougher now than when I entered, I.e. I feel like I’m being looked down on when I ask questions about customers, market, etc, because that’s what consulting has drilled into me, when the interview ends up as a standard market sizing case. I know it’s 90% knowing the game, but I feel like I’m undercutting myself if I don’t treat the case like an actual project.

Case studies seem like an inadequate way to assess an experienced hires qualifications imo

I agree but at sub manager levels it’s understandable IMO, basically just a gut check for someone who’s 2-4 years out of school and a promo away from manager at the least

Benefits Question: how is the health insurance where you are? How does your employer handle it?

This has become one of the most important things when interviewing for me. My last employer went from having no insurance option to giving us one terrible plan that they contributed 50% towards.
