I have a case interview coming up soon. I never thought about working with a case coach or study group that some websites offered but some people highly suggest them instead of working solo. What's your take on this? Should I really pay for some premium service even though I feel comfortable with case interviews?

Case coaches are really good from going 0-80 fast but won't speed up 80-90 very fast

If you feel comfortable with case interviews it might be worth to ask some friends if you have any in consulting, find people on here willing to run some, or the firm you’re recruiting with might have people to run some with you (McK recently did this with me). If you get good feedback from those then maybe not worth getting a professional but if from those you find out there’s an area where you need improvement then you could focus your attention on those!

Just ask your recruiter for a case buddy

I don’t recommend or recommend against paying for coach. However I would say that you need practice partners at least to simulate the real experience
