From peers experience they typically want you to schedule an interview within 1-2 weeks of your first call with a recruiter

You can push it back if you’re not ready or have other mitigating circumstance. But yes, they prefer faster turnaround. They also may not know exact interview dates that far out

Technically we interview experienced hires year round. Only 1-2 yrs experience with no grad degree is rare to interview any time though

Probably not. You can sometimes delay by a few weeks of you’re still case prepping. It sounds like you might be optimizing for bonus payday though. The usual advice is “apply when you’re ready."

I started talking to recruiters and applied in May. They wanted me to interview beginning of June but I pushed to end of August, partially because I’d never even heard of a case interview before I applied. Agree with BCG2 that it’s tough to push too far
