Hi ladies. I’m not happy in my current role (bored with the work, feel completely undervalued by management, etc) and want to take advantage of this job market to switch into consulting (preferably MBB). I have zero experience with case interviews, so how long do you recommend studying/prepping prior to applying? Should I apply now and prep while I’m waiting for an interview? Will this be enough time to adequately prep? Appreciate any advice!

Use casecoach and crafting cases. Once you know the basics it's worth paying for a coach for mock interview sessions. I used 2 months to prep and it was plenty. good luck!!

Thanks so much! But my path to GS was a bit nontraditional and I only had one behavioral interview. I’m also in a compliance role as opposed to a front-office role.
