Are you likely to not get an offer if you don’t finish the case interview?

Don’t finish=no offer almost always

Shucks :(

Why didn’t you finish? Usually they say not worry about it. How many questions did you get through? My final interview cases were very short

Everything depends. Each case and interviewer and situation is bespoke so wouldn’t stress anymore OP. Let the cards fall where they may

It depends, i didnt finish a case before and still got the offer. We were running behind and he told me to wrap it up so in my summary, i told them how I would finish solving the case and which calculations and numbers i would use to support the hypothesis, and the risks, next steps, etc. It depends why you didnt finish

We were running a few mins behind and kept a few mins for questions.

Fumbled on the math right at the end but I think I got it right and think we were on the recommendation next. My framework hit on everything the case went into so maybe it’ll save me

Depends. In one of my case interviews, there were 2 market sizing, and I took so long with 1 of them that we didn’t get to the other one. The interviewer just told me to wrap up instead of doing the 2nd market sizing (it was the similar to the first one). Because of that I assumed I was definitely not getting the offer, but in the end I did :) I think my other interviews were strong enough to overlook that part.

If you did well in the case, summarizing all takeaways along the interview I think you still have a chance!

I think it should be okay. From my experience, I was making incremental recommendations through out which is supposed to culminate in the final reco. I didn’t finish and still got the offer. Although it was with a senior partner who was looking at other components of the case interview as well.

How do you evaluate the financial health/viability of a startup you’re interviewing with? Are there specific questions you ask and/or external research you do? A company I’m interviewing with offers equity, and they say they anticipate going IPO or being bought out by a larger company in the industry. I know any company will put its best foot forward during interviews, so I’m trying to figure out to accurately evaluate those statements.
