I have an interview coming up at a T2 firm, but I truly do not know how to case. Do you have any tips on not sounding like a straight up donkey?

I was hungover for my only case interview and I got hired. You’ll probably be fine. Cases have little-to-no objective measurement. They just want to hear what you think. Anyone who tells you other wise is lying. Speaking only for strategy. Can’t speak to a technical case, but strategy cases are literally BS lol

SA1, thanks for the advice but uhh that’s seems risky because I can’t even set up a proper framework atm.

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.

Our firm told everyone no bonuses this year due to the pandemic. However, people like myself with high utilization received a “bonus” in terms of a gift card. My director notified me of this, but the other day my boss was mentioning how no bonuses this year really sucks. I was told by the director to not mention it to anyone but I figured if anyone knew I got one it’d be my boss. I feel super uncomfortable now because do I essentially lie to my boss because I’m not supposed to talk about it.
