For case interview prep, do you recommend RocketBock or PrepLounge? I have done 15 cases, of which are with a peer on Prep Lounge and a few friends (free version and wondering if it’s worth it to upgrade or to pay for RocketBlock). Goals: to become able to to come up with a good framework even if i can’t identify the type of case, and deliver my recommendations in a more convincing way/less robotic.

Having an interview coming up next week.

Don't know much about PrepLounge but I used RocketBlocks for one month and felt like I got more than enough reps building frameworks to be able to cancel. So only like $15. Not sure what else it offers but that seemed like the primary advantage

like

All I remember was it was very simple sample cases and you could practice putting together a framework and then compare it against a couple samples from people at all the big firms. I felt pretty good after doing a couple each day for a month and was much more creative during my interviews

Never tried rocket blocks but PrepLounge premium was 90% of my interview prep and it was super helpful

I have an interview for an in house position (only attorney) at a small non-profit focused on conservation easements. I am a transactional associate at a mid sized law firm. The prospect of freedom from the billable hour and contributing to meaningful work are the draws. The cons are that while the salary at the non-profit would only be slightly less than what I am making now, pay increases and opportunities for advancement will be much less than where I am now. Thoughts on making the shift?

Now I am unsure how I convey this to my manager coz I want to stay here but at the same time I am salivating over this new offer and wish I get similar numbers here. Is it worth raising a discussion? If yes what would be a subtle way to do so?

I’ve had radio silence from a small investment bank for about a week now. I’ve completed several rounds of interviews, but last Thursday the firm reposted the job I’ve been interviewing for. On Friday the headhunter said that they’re not sourcing new candidates and it’s probably just LinkedIn automatically refreshing the listing. She said they had a busy week last week but will make a final decision this week - is the delay and radio silence a bad sign or is this typical for experienced hiring?
