For the case, half the battle is about structuring your framework. Get a book on casing and practice framing structures to the problems and learning how to deliver your communication.

I like “hacking the case interview” by Taylor warfield

If you can spend the money, Look Over My Shoulders by Victor Cheng will make you formidable. But the key is practice, practice, practice. If you practice enough, nothing will catch you off guard which is the struggle in case interviews

Behavioral is normal - just be sure to quantify impact and stay structured in your communications

Is it naive to hope that there could be a job out there that I actually LIKE doing as opposed to just forcing myself to do it for the paycheck? I work for a great company with (mostly) great people but still find myself wishing I could be doing anything else throughout the workday. After a number of different jobs in industry and consulting have left me feeling the same after a year or so, I'm starting to wonder if it'll always be this way and actually liking work is just out of reach.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
