Has anyone done a case interview over zoom? If so what what was it like? How did it differ from a regular in person case interview ?

Got my job over Skype interviews. Practice cases over the phone so you get good at talking through what you’re doing (because they can’t see anything), and then do the same on zoom. Even though it’s a video call, they can’t see your paper so it helps to talk through what you’re calculating/drawing, etc.

I did, stupid awkward for the more procedural moments of the case, but the actual breakdown and calculations were the same. Got the job so I guess it went fine. Advice would be to show more emotion in voice/tonal changes than you’d typically think because interviewer won’t be able to pick up on body language/non-orals. Don’t use a calculator, if they hear you clicking keys it’s a death sentence if there’s no calculator allowed.

Hi All... URGENTLY NEED some suggestions.

I've got a job offer in australia for 120$ Aud. Pay is good but they reached out to me via LinkedIn now all interviews done. If i accept the offer they will start my visa process. But I couldn't find the company in Google or Glassdoor reviews. It's a new startup kind of consultancy with 10-15 PPL. I can only see few linkedin posts for that company.

Is it advisable to proceed? They're not asking any money from me they are sponsoring for visa. Is it safe
