I really like the book “Bullet Proof Problem Solving” and the “Pyramid Principle”. They gave me the core tools to apply to a variety of cases. Interviewers are looking for a structured and logical approach to the problem, and the communication of your outputs. Then you can refine the process through practice cases.

This is not the best advice. These books should be an afterthought when it comes to case prep. Sure you should understand how to communicate by leveraging pyramid principle but a couple of YouTube videos of case interview videos and you should be good. Don't read the whole book, it's not going to improve your prep meaningfully

The Crafting Cases website will hands down be your best resource for case interview prep. It helped me case as someone with a non-business background. Take their free one-week course

When I asked the reason, you are clueless till now what to say? You guys even don't have enough courage to respond my calls. #Amdocs #Hiring

Any tips for how to stand out when submitting resumes online to an F50? I have started sending my resume to in-house jobs and it’s hard to even get a response from most listings. I have tried being targeted (e.g., applying to in-house M&A roles and not just any in-house role) and adjusting my resume for particular listings (e.g., highlighting experiences of interest to the company). For a number of places, I have indicated that I am looking for a remote position, which is maybe a negative.

For those trying to leave, how do you sneak interviews in?
