Do big 4 also do case interviews or is it only MBB?

They do, but cases will vary based on the team you’re applying to. I don’t think they’re as hard core with scoring as MBB (strategy cases).

I did a case interview fir Deloitte but no case interview for PWC.

Yes

I did one for D, but it was very straight forward and easy

Depends, I didn’t have one, it was a straight interview. But I was an experienced hire.

Big4’s strategy divisions (Monitor, Parthenon, Strategy& and whatever KPMG’s is called) do case interviews that are more or less comparable with the ones done by MBB and T2. Non-strategy consulting divisions are more office-dependent, but they usually don’t do actual case interviews

I interviewed with a company last week and the interviewer said he would submit my notes to the hiring manager and I would hear back this Monday from HR on next steps/if they want to move forward.

I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
