It's representative of the brainstorming phase. Issue trees are very common on whiteboards and decks. Asking for questions/clarifying questions is also a good representative of expert interviews.

Yea and No. Tests your ability to perform under pressure and think on the fly. You don't always have the luxury of swinging at a slow pitch all the time.

Many may disagree, but I say no. Didn't do a case interview at all and I can brainstorm/storyline better than others who came from case-based learning schools.

Yeah... not really ...

Happy Wednesday everyone. I'm so excited, I have a recruiter call scheduled with @Meta for Administrative Partner position. I've been in my current employer role for 19 years and I'm nervous as heck. I haven't had to do an interview in so long. Can someone please tell me what to expect with the recruiter call? I'm assuming it will be mostly about the role, my skills and background? Do they ask salary expectations? I have no idea what to say for the salary question. Feedback appreciated. Thanks

Is genetic carrier screening prior to starting an ivf cycle necessary? I tested and found some disorders. Now my RE won’t start my cycle until my partner is tested.

I thought this type of testing was optional and usually recommended if you are using a donor. My guess is that they are booked and pushing me to the Jan cycle. Thoughts?
