Hello!
I am preparing for case interviews and am kinda faced with a dilemma so am looking for advice. I am getting help from my bf in giving me mock cases because it saves me time not having to do cases with others (had some bad experiences) plus it gives me more time to do drills. However now I am thinking if I should still sometimes do mocks with others as practice… although at the same time i’m not sure what added value this would be if i again find not that good partners. What’s your take?

Definitely do cases with different people once you get the hang of it.

I also did drills and a couple of cases with my husband too but it’s totally different. I don’t get as nervous compared to when I do it with someone from my cohort. He also couldn’t give in-depth feedback because he didn’t come from a b-school background.

Even if the above don’t apply, you would still want to practice interview styles, everybody does cases a little bit differently. (How they pace, give/withhold information, answer clarifying questions etc.)

Thank you! super valid point about not being nervous, I definitely need to be more exposed to that

I received many times more value from interviewing with experienced consultants.

Interviews with other people interviewing is the next best

Interviewing with a S/O is still helpful, but much less so

Thank you. You’re right!!

Variety will go a long way in landing an offer.
