Abolish case interviews!! Simply because they stress me out.

I’m convinced it’s an industry wide play to create an extra obstacle to jump ship, so they can continue to under pay us

Case interviews are a joke

I’m an experienced hire and just went through interviews with 6 different firms for strategy roles. 5 of them required cases, 4 of them required multiple (>3) cases.

I see, so a pretty resounding yes for strategy firms, probably a bit less common in the B4/ACN/implementation realm I’d imagine

Are you asking broadly or did you mean to tag a specific firm?

Broadly! I’m curious to hear what different firms’ practices are!

We case interview for experienced hires (maybe not at Director and above)

I case studied out of the role I applied for and into a directorship... YMMV.

I had to for M level at D, ACN, PwC/S&. So it seems pretty standard yes.

Yes across the board. I interviewed as an experienced higher at EYP, S&, and a lot of boutiques. All of them had cases but some were more traditional than others.

Glad I’m joining soon K1!

Preparing for my final round case interview and I’ve realized that whereas prior to the first round I was pretty comfortable with casing, now I’m less and less so since I’m increasingly anxious that I could not come up with the right buckets. I’m also doing more untraditional cases at times which makes me feel like I’m not performing that well. Has anyone experienced similar things? How did you cope with it/What’s your advice? Many thanks in advance since I’m now a ball of stress 😩😩
