Do you think case preparation using casebooks is a waste of time? Everyone seems to be using “real” cases from interviews they had, but of course I don’t have any of them so nobody wants to do cases with me

Like b school casebooks? Those are helpful since they generally are written down after internship interviews

Some cases are definitely better than others in those books though

Stick with YouTube for the general idea.

Your personality and chemistry with the interviewer has far more weight than it should, so make sure you speak clearly, ask a bunch of questions, and don't try to say "this is the solution" because there really isn't one.

I used case in point to prepare and I thought it was helpful 🤷‍♀️

Casebooks are fine. I'd say it's more about the delivery. Some people just read out the case from the casebook having just seen it 5 minutes ago - at least if you are doing one from an interview you actually had, you have a sense of the pacing and the direction of the case. Practice giving cases as well as doing them, the dynamism makes a difference.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
