I interviewed with COF twice. First time was with strategy group and was the hardest interviews I have done anywhere. Second time was with the quant group and wasn’t as hard but more mathematical.

Go ahead

The cases aren't bad at C1 for BA roles. Look on YouTube for the C1 case there, that's pretty much what you can expect. I can't speak to any of the quant roles (I've interviewed for product, BA, and AD roles at HQ in the past 6 months).

They do give you a calculator, which helps with the math.

Thanks!!!

Am at Capital One: cases are definitely more quant based, more guided. I find them to be easier than typical consulting cases

I’ve always gotten the advice that when you want to switch jobs you should take interviews from places you’re not actually interested in, so you can understand your value in the market and have better negotiating power.

I’m doing that rn - took a couple interviews to gauge my skills, my market value, and see what I need to work on for interviews that I actually care about.

However, I feel really guilty about wasting their time and going all the way knowing I’ll just say no at the end. Wwyd?

I have another one week to go to join EY GDS. But I haven't got tagged any counselor yet, and no onboarding procedure intimation. The HR with whome I used to talk during interview, is not picking up the call. What is happening? It feels like I didn't get the offer. Very bad.

I need to push my starting date by 1-2 weeks due to my h1b transfer not coming through on time. I have notified the recruiter about this concern and they said it’s easy to change push the start date in system.

Do I need to reach out to my hiring manager/team separately to communicate this delay, or will Google HR/recruiter handle it?
