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

"Too out of the box" is not a risk, don't worry.

What *might* be something to reflect on is whether its too *complex*. Bear in mind that you're expected to lay out a relevant, MECE, logical framework in the span of approx. 2 minutes. That framework doesn't have to be out if a business textbook, it doesn't have to be from any textbook for that matter. It just needs to cover all (most) bases, needs to make sense, and needs to actually be helpful to the task at hand.

Thank you for that insight! I really appreciate it!

As long as it’s MECE, go for it

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.
