Cases I received were quite unstructured - more like the partners were shooting from the hip. Primarily wanted to see how good was the structuring and then synthesis.
But that was Principal level (and not too long back).

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?
