How do you tell a company you don’t want to do a case study? I literally don’t have time for 5 hours of a case while working a job and interviewing with other firms and trying to make time for my personal life

Wouldn’t that just mean you withdraw your candidacy for the position? I’m confused what your expectation is here.

You withdraw your candidacy.

The upside of doing the case study with my clients is it gives you a real example of the type of work you’ll be doing and they see how you perform and present. A hiring mistake is very costly in time and money. If you’re not invested in the process it’s not the right timing or role for you.

I was in a similar situation and just withdrew from consideration. I had a firm cold call reach out to me then asked me to go through 5 case interviews. I also didn’t have time and figured if they were actually interested they wouldn’t have asked for that many cases, if any at all.

I would explain your situation to them. If you are interested and don’t have the bandwidth right now, maybe they can make adjustments to the project. This just happened to me with a candidate. We were willing to adjust to her situation, but she pulled out, it was more than just the case study.

I am better finally, and ready to get back to work, but I don’t know how to explain this or even approach this during interviews/resume writing.

Anyone have any helpful advice?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
