Hi everyone,

I'm currently at J.P. Morgan and preparing for my first strategy consulting interview. I'm looking for guidance from anyone with consulting (especially MBB-style) interview experience.

Any advice on case interviews, PEI, or preparation resources would be greatly appreciated. If anyone is willing to mentor or conduct a mock interview, I'd be very thankful.

Thanks in advance!

After 2 years of a pandemic and working independently for many years, I am not feeling interviews AT ALL. There are points in the interview where I want to just say "Look! Either hire me or don't".

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?

Another thing is, I have started to dislike my current tech and no more interested in it.
