Have a buddy interviewing with Oliver Wyman for an entry level, right out of undergrad position. Any tips on R1 interview aside from general case prep/interview tips? Don’t know if there’s anything particular about OWs interviews

I’m a partner that helps run much of OW recruiting in the Americas. My main comment is that while some prep is useful, we value evidence of original thinking and honest enthusiasm more than signals that you have a well-practiced script of your accomplishments and can use the same old case frameworks (“assume US population of 300 million, bucket them by…” is rarely the best approach.). At entry level, we are looking for awesome people that can learn very quickly in teams, not for people who already know how to do X.

Coming out of UG, I accepted my first job b/c I thought I had to based on status of other interviews. I ended up quitting after 8 weeks in favor of an opportunity I perceived to be better, but took longer to get. 7 months into the new gig, I am NOT happy. Considering this is technically my second job out of school, how long should I stick around before trying to leave without looking like a total scumbag opportunist?

My step in laws are TERRIBLE. Not directly to me but family dynamic is stressful. They parent their youngest kid with pills and ignoring him, so that he does inappropriate things around me with zero correction (walking in on me, insulting me). They are all half siblings (4 boys 30-11) so they all don’t care including my partner. FIL also verbally abuses MIL in front of us. Yet they all want to please him constantly. It’s just bad.
