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?

What line of consulting? There was no maths in mine. It was a strategy case.

Yeah you don’t have to travel to their office.

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

Bridge between Customer Support and Product Design?

Hiya! I am in the final round of interviews at an EdTech platform for a role that is the bridge between the Customer Support and UX/Product Design teams. I act as that bridge in my current role but on a more informal basis because it is a smaller company.

Would anyone be willing to share their perspective (positive or negative) on the Product/UX end of this relationship? I want to make sure to ask the right questions.
Thank you!
