Are corporate finance or pricing dead end ops?
I have a fair amount of retail experience and have created a bowl to help fellow consultants who are interviewing in retail and CPG. My experience is across a wide range of topics (primarily non technical) and would love to help folks get their dream job. Would be awesome if others can join and contribute their knowledge.

Ya start preparing answers for standard questions and building examples from projects on what you did how you influenced change, etc. practice those answers will be a lot easier to land a job. Can do it at the end as well but better to just note things down as you do them on the project.

Depends on industry. Tech is competitive and can take 1 month of prep to get story straight, talk to other techies, research opportunities and comp etc
It depends on the exits you want. If you're going after a popular exit where your competition is other MBB people with fancy degrees (such as faang s&o), you will need a lot of practice and preparation to compete. If you're going after a low key role or non unicorn startup, then you mostly need some behavioral answers which should be easy enough to handle.
Pretty easy. Just convo and know the product
It depends on the role
Behavioral is straightforward unless you go for Amazon or got some tricky managers
Cases are similar, unless you do PM cases (big diff but utilizes same skills).
Depends on role but for corp strategy, it is basically the same. In fact depending on level, you might not even get a case like in consulting. I've usually gotten mini cases weaved in between behavioral questions.
Like I give an example of something I did and the interviewer makes a scenario out of it and asks me what I would consider.
But I agree with the general sentiment you need reps. I would just apply for random jobs to practice.
I prepped for 3-4 weeks and honestly it was overkill. Most interviews feel pretty easy compared to MBB cases, unless it's a domain you don't know (e.g., technical questions)

Not much for S&O roles in tech. I do about 5-10 hours of prep per interview before/during the process, all of that is just studying up on the company/product/biz model online. This is different vs. consulting because you know what the company/role is vs. being assigned a random case in random industry.
The live cases are “easier”and more “brainstorming” focused vs. solving a math problem—may require more creativity though.
The biggest time commitment is for companies that want you to do take home assignments.
Another potential hard roadblock are companies that want you to do timed excel modeling, so you have to be good at this (passable at MBB is not enough).
There is nothing you should be doing now IMO.
DoorDash has one of those, 20% of interviews required some take home. Most of which I said no to.
