Don’t try and prep now - trust on your abilities. It’s going to be absolutely fine. Try and make friends w the other person and you’ll feel comfortable

This is bad advice if OP has never done case prep before. It's possible this is their first time doing a consulting interview.

I did a phone case with mckinsey last summer. Just think of it as a normal case interview with basic math, since it's over the phone there won't be any charts or diagrams of course. Very basic.

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews. I called the HR after getting their point of contact mail and I asked if it's possible to switch. They said I'm already tagged to a project and that they'll check from their end if it can be done.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.
