Has anyone ever (successfully) applied frameworks from other disciplines as opposed to the usual structures you see in case interview prep? I have some generalist MBB interviews coming up- My background is in health & life sciences not business- so applying things like logic models and theory of change models is much more natural for me rather than 3cs, etc. I feel they can be adapted for many case interview prompts, &I can apply them more confidently- but don’t want to be too out of the box.

I’m currently at a final round and don’t know a single framework verbatim tbh. I just do whatever makes business sense to me lol. The only exception is m and a or market entry since those are pretty standard

Tacky AF. Tell me I was rejected by the shadowy 5-person board or it was given to someone who wanted less. Just not this b.s.

Hi Fishes,

I got interviewed at infosys two days back.
When can I expect to hear back from them.
Also all the questions that were asked to me were written coding questions(Write block of code) none were verbal.I could write all answers but none was 100% correct.

At last I asked the interviewer about feedback as in where was I wrong. He said at couple of places and he explained me where was I wrong.

Do you all think I will be rejected?

WFH Vs WF Office Vs Hybrid, Which one should you take?
If you are fresher, go for a WF Office setup. You will learn things beyond your work. In the initial phase of of your career, one needs to focus more on learning than on comfort. The interactions at office, meeting with collegues, conversations at the cafeteria, sense of responsibilty, the need to walk up on time to reach office etc will shape you for better.

Once you have a work experience of few year then any setup is fine. Go for WFH.
