Hi all, what is the best way to prep for big4 case interviews and where can I find good examples that aren't just through searching on Google or watching cases on Youtube? Is the mental math complex numbers? Note - I don't have anybody to practice with, so trying to do my best on my own.

Why do you want to do something more than Google searching when you can get the best resources through it? You can watch case videos on YouTube and check out casebooks of any of the top business schools…regarding the mental math bit ..u can always round off numbers in case interviews …they appreciate you making life simple for yourself

I watched Youtube videos too, there aren't that many. Thanks, I'll look up the casebooks.

Cannot stress enough that you should find case partners.

Hey Mck1, thanks for the advice. I didn't go to college in the US, and have no friends here either. So my only option is probably finding them online?

Sometimes company websites have samples online. I know Deloitte does.

Also, if you know someone at a firm you are applying to, you could ask them to run a practice case.

Definitely read forums about how different company’s cases typically run. There’s probably helpful info on Reddit and other sites

case interviews can really be very challenging. It's better to find someone who can practice with you. If I can find someone who can help you, I will let you know right away.

Thanks for the advice, I have nobody to help me though, and have no experience in doing case interviews. What casebook do you recommend?

I had my Assessor interview this past week and received a pre-screening questionnaire that asked about dual citizenship status. Because I don't even have a passport for the country I am a dual citizen for, I didn't even think about the possibile complications this could lead to with my application. I applied through a career fair at school and didn't see the citizenship requirements, so I guess that's on me.

Born in the US and lived here all my life. Am I screwed regardless?

Hi all,
Need some advice.
I got the highest offer from LnT worth 17, but I can try for some more comapnies and get higher offers.
But ,I also want to retain in capgemini if they match the package.
Should I stop interviews & approach my manager or should I wait for him to call me again ? He had already called once saying he would match the package.
Am I being too greedy if I ask for 18/19 to retain?Or should I just ask for 17 so that repport between me and my manager remains intact?
