I got a partner referral to MBB and am expecting to get a first round interview invite in several weeks.

Unfortunately I've never done a real case in my life. How should I prepare?

I found LOMS to be very worth it in my case. Similar to OP I never had to do a "real" case interview, and didn't really have peers who did "real" ones either.

I could get a sense by reading through case books, but after going through a few LOMS, something clicked and I had a much better idea of what to prepare for, my potential pitfalls, etc.

Victor Cheng's LOMS!! It'll give you an idea of what great and poor cases sound like.

He has a commentary during each case pointing out good/bad things that you might not have caught.

LOMS or IGotAnOffer or Rocket Blocks. I like all of them for different reasons.

Partner referrals don’t guarantee interviews for one thing. Second, someone will reach out to prep you

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.
