Have you studied case interviewing at all? That will make a big difference.

Either way, the answer is probably every waking minute from now until your interview if you’re trying to go from KPMG to BCG

Sounds rough but honestly true. It’s tough especially if you haven’t done strategy projects (e.g., you got a problem, have a hypothesis, research/interview, iterate, recommendation)

The right answer is until you feel confident in your ability to run through the process every time without becoming bored and mechanical as you do it. For me it was about 2 months (if memory serves) of practice meeting 1-2 times a week with a group of about 4 smart people. Definitely have to practice out loud with a partner (ideally someone who is going through or has gone through process before successfully, but not necessary.). That partner should be smart enough to give you honest and direct feedback to help you improve.

Need Suggestion.

I am the only developer in my team and my manager has assigned me a project in which I need to create a tool from scratch although that is currently running in production build by third party and we don't have access to that code.

I am on notice period and I am 100% sure that project won't be completed before my LWD.

What should I do, I asked him to put some extra team members but he didn't agree, seems like he will add extra team members 2-3 weeks before my LWD.
