There will likely be a consulting group that will practically hand hold you through case and interview prep. If you want to do anything, start practicing mental math (rocketblocks or any mental math app) but otherwise, I’d enjoy your time before school. You’ll get plenty of prep.

This. They group will walk you through the process. Provide practice materials. Set up practice groups. And you'll finely be able to find other students who want to spend a lot of their free time practicing cases.

I’m trying to pivot to PM after >3 years in finance and I have a 2nd round interview with CPO this week. Company has 3.7 on Glassdoor with complaints about CEO, “bro-y” culture, and hard to wfh. It’s a data analytics company with 5 PMs, was bought by a PE firm this year, and has a new (female) CEO as of Oct. Role is 50/50 hybrid, pays well vs what I make, and most importantly would be a foot in the door to PM. Is this a good place to be for PM? What else do I need to find out to know for sure?
