Hello, I am 28F with 5 years experience at a Big4 in advisory (Amsterdam) and I am currently preparing for MBB interviews.
I think I practiced around 30/40 cases over the past weeks, however I still feel that I am not mastering my casing skills. I don’t feel I am improving anymore in comparison to the beginning of my prep - so I really question whether I am cut for the job/ smart enough, etc. I feel the whole case assessment is so random and one can ALWAYS fuc* up. Any tips? Should I give up?

How soon do most companies let you know if you're not proceeding to the next round of interviews? Do they let you know within the day, a day after, or a week usually?

Am I the only person who has been super disgusted to Fishbowl’s response to the Meta layoffs? I’ve been laid off twice in my career but I’m not mad at 11000 people who no longer have jobs just cause they got decent severance while I got a week on my way out. Facebook is hot garbage but I’m pretty sure 0 out of the 11000 were making those decisions. So why are you upset about it? Urgh. Y’all are weird.

Any chance that we’ll see pay raises this year?
