Which geography? Either way as SM your interview will be mainly case focused. I'd focus on brushing up on case skills.

North America
My recruiter mentioned there does not believe there will be no case .. a little confused.. first interview on the 4th - what can I do to prepare? @strategy&

Well maybe you have a first interview which is more of a general discussion focussed on your experiences and general fitment. This interview also helps gauge who should be running the next interviews for you.

If a firm has multiple openings that you’re interested in, is it a good or bad idea to apply to more than one position? I’m a third year interested in retooling from lit to general corp, but they prefer someone with 3+ years of corporate experience. They’re also looking for an M&A with 1+ years, so it may be easier to aim for that, but I’ve heard horror stories re WLB for M&A. Would still try it out tho bc I’m desperate to leave lit, but don’t want to make a faux pas. Any insights appreciated!

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.
