I am currently working at a public services consulting company for a federal client. I have an interview lined up for a consulting company in the private sector and I have no experience with the typical corporate case based interviews. How can I position myself for success? Would love any tips and resources

Focus on relevant experiences, different industry but hopefully some of the technical/functional work you do day to day is transferable. Public service could be a great talking point depending on industry - I always twisted it as global, complex and heavily regulated, and massive scale with extremely diverse unaligned stakeholders, etc.

don't know how much time you have, but look up this resource called case coach. Good way to get started, after you have that under your belt you need to find people to practice with

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.

He has student loans and is adamant that he wants to pay all of them off immediately before saving any retirement money. I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k
