How effective is the case interview, really? I've been on both sides of the table, and I'm starting to have my doubts.

On one hand, case interviews test problem-solving skills, analytical thinking, and communication under pressure, which are undoubtedly important for consultants. But on the other hand, they often feel artificial and don't necessarily reflect the complexities of real-world client engagements. Plus, they can favor those with prior experience or access to coaching, potentially disadvantaging talented candidates from non-traditional backgrounds.

What's your take on the case interview? Love it or hate it? Are there alternative assessment methods that could provide a more holistic view of a candidate's abilities?

Hi. So I'm about to begin employment with United HealthGroup. It will be for Medicare recipients. I have some years experience with Medicaid. Any advice? I know, at first, it'll be working on the phones. Any thoughts also on how to get off the phones or how to move into other positions? Thank you.

I'm feeling a lot of anger towards my manager (now he's acting normal but there were moments where he was condescending/dismissive/mocked my and others work/arrogant/said stuff was "wrong" constantly/belittling the difficulty of tasks etc. in the past project).
Maybe it is "standard chewing out" but it bothered me a lot. So much that I find myself still getting all fired up inside thinking about it...
Idk how to let go of this :/ Thoughts?

Changing addresses sucks, why doesn't the U.S. implement a personal "code" based address system?

Meaning if my address code is "A123" then all I need to provide to my bank/employer/friend is my code and if the bank/employer/friend mails something to "A123" it would always come to my most up to date mailing address even if I relocate.

"We have an well equipped team of consultants with technical knowledge and the required skills to make this project a success"
What you mean is a scrappy, underpaid, understaffed team in perpetual KT mode because of turnovers. An environment where Type A graduates are pressured to outperform and burn themselves in order to 'prove something' and deliver ever changing client demands.
