(based on my recent experience alone)
R1 was relatively more direct and the cases were pretty standard.
R2 cases would be things that the Partner/Principal worked on themselves and they made the case. More vague problem statement but the general mechanics remain the same.
Higher focus on the fit part as well.

So, there’s 3 rounds:

Round 1: computer nonsense case + math test etc.
Round 2: this is where PLs/Principals/Partners do case interviews with you. Cases are all from our own portfolio and are real world.
Round 3 or DR: this where the MDPs case you + fit (less case more fit - the expect the first round to weed out poor case folks already)

For me, your items 1 and 2 were the same day so one "round"

Got ghosted after a final round interview with a unicorn startup. I had a very hands on interview and showed them detailed code examples and architecture diagrams. Maybe I gave away too much? The interviewers seemed really impressed. The cynical thought I have is they're doing interviews just to find answers to the problems they haven't been able to solve. Why else would they ghost me? Everything seemed to be going so well until now.

Been working for a boutique firm a little under a year. Came in as a senior consultant (due to previous types of experience mostly in government). 7.5 YOE, Masters, blah, blah.

Anyway, I came in at 90K. Recently got 3K bonus (split). Around my 6 month mark, recruiters have started reaching out with opportunities ranging from $140K-$170K. Currently interviewing with a few in that range. What a shock to me coming from public sector. I really undersold myself because I didn’t know any better. 💀
