Depends on the focus of the role(company) but I kindly advise a couple of weeks (at least) if it’s brand new to you.

Coding took me a couple of weeks to a month for an engineer role. Case interview I took a 3-5 days for my current consulting role

Nah. I went into consulting out of college last year in June but have interviewed for an engineering role after

I’ve got it down to 10 minutes or so. Check the job description briefly to make sure recruiting hasn’t put in anything new. Run through the candidate’s resume and circle anything I want to ask about in detail like key skills etc., and dial into the bridge a couple minutes early

Sorry, meant this to be from a candidate’s perspective

CV Chat/Experience/Example of a time nonsense: 30 mins at max

Consulting Case Studies: Few days ~30 cases to get to good. Now even less

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.
