Are there any advantages of interviewing over Skype/zoom for MBB vs in-person? Just for example - Case interviews typically use frameworks, what if you have the print outs in front of you...lol?

This is a big plus.

I am interviewing with 4 companies and there's no way I could have done that in normal times.

OP - Looks like you think MBB interviews cases are like the generic cases you see in Case in Point.

Try your approach if you manage to get the interview. Can guarantee it won’t work. You’ll just waste your time.

A standard framework will get you rejected for being “generic”. What we look for is tailoring a structure for the specific case at hand so not that useful
