YouTube has some videos if you search. I failed mine but feel like it was combination of math nerves and a bad facilitator in one of the rounds. I’d study up on framework creation and mental math short cuts for percentage, ratios, etc. as they would pertain to profit margin.

It’s very math heavy! Make sure your formulas are on point. Like M1, even I failed mine . I know why because I messed up the numbers I entered into the calculator and realised my error AFTER the interview! Take your time, create a framework and then use the data they give you. Questions are reasonable to ask, they usually hide one or two data points and expect you to ask them, basically testing your instinct towards what metrics are necessary.

Has anyone ever used excel for formula? I’m building a model so i can plug and play numbers

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?
