Are cases common for lateral interviews at SM / D level? not worried about framing/structure but its been a while. I'm concerned about tripping over details or mental math and have no time to practice

Following. Glad you asked

Not in my experience

Who hires a principal or director for mental math skills?? You should be fine with good experience and obviously structuring, framing and problem solving..

SM level, yes. But depends on the interviewer. More experienced ones may just wing it and roll the conversation naturally into a pseudo case
