Be smart, practice cases. If you know the partner, read a primer on their industry or function of specialty

How do you practice that conversational partner case interview style when none of your case practice partners are MBB partners ?

If your interview is with McKinsey, be sure to read up on fraud (they love it there)

I personally went with the approach that every case I did was conversational (this approach tanked with 1 interviewer at Bain, full disclosure)

Of course, that’s just the correct way to do it, not really an option

I had my PM 5 on-site interviews at Google yesterday! It was great except for my last interview. My estimation was maybe a 5/10. A few things happened: it was introduced with only 10 minutes, there was a surprise extra person shadowing, and my interviewer turned her camera and mic off twice turning that part of call. I wasn't sure if I should keep going or wait and late I day, I couldn't stop from being thrown. Is there any value in letting my recruiter know that the interview didn't go well?
