Prepare for it the way you would prepare for any other case interview

I've read through the job description obviously, looking for examples of the questions/cases that I should expect. Coffee/drinks on me if someone has any time to spare :)

Cases are typically at the intersection of M&A and Operations. Expect cases on supply chain strategy, manufacturing, product portfolio rationalization, synergies etc.

Thank you

It’s easy. Ops stuff. Would skip S& PEVC though. Banking hours at half the pay

Hello,

I am a 2nd year attorney in a small town location applying for jobs at small firms only (5 attys or less). Therefore recruiters and HR contacts and advice do not apply.

Can anyone share their best experiences as a similar job applicant, or as a partner who as managed the hiring process?

So far I have sent one "cold call" application via email, directly to the managing partner with a cover letter and resume attached. No response.

Should I follow up? Is there a better procedure? TY
