Read case in point and case interview secrets, pretty cheap on Amazon / can probably find PDFs online. Don’t agonize over every detail but read them quickly to get yourself acclimated to what to expect. Then I’d move to rocketblocks

Congrats!!! I think the first step is to learn more about the firm/how they operate. And if you can, find someone on LinkedIn who works at the office you're interviewing for and have a quick coffee chat with them to know more about that office's culture, the type of projects they do, etc.

Its only after that that I would start prepping for case interviews etc (I know there are many ressources online and even some advice on reddit). If i find anything interesting i'll send it to you! (i'm thinking about applying at the end of april)

Great point D1, but I’d be doing these things simultaneously if you have under a month to prep and you’ve never cased before

I'm in the final round of interviews for two internal positions - both vertical. One has FTE's (my first such experience) and the other a much broader scope vs my current role

I had interviewed externally for a role on par w the internal roles, at a smaller and less established company. They confirmed +20% was in their range

How do I push back on my company if they offer less than that, if I do want one of those roles? Without a pay scale, what is the best way to approach?
