Start with case interview secrets with victor cheng. Check out rocket blocks, especially do the drills. Suggest a paid tutor to do a case with you and give you feedback as well. Practise mental math with an app.

If your not ready ask to push back. I think there is a big gap right now in BAs/ associates but that does NOT mean they will lower the interview bar. They will just funnel more cattle into slaughter.

funny

Can you push it out?

I used Victor Cheng to start and moved on to free online case books.

It's the first phone case interview. I dont know how long i can push it.. Worried it will give a bad impression if i push it too far.

The most they would do is say that they can’t push further. They wouldn’t dismiss you over it.

I would start with case in point and get the basics down, and then move to crafting cases for approach and practice. That’s what I did recently! Practice confidence and delivery, and other than that run drills whenever you can! Good luck OP you got this!!

I think best preparation for McK is starting with the 3 or 4 cases they have on their website. And don’t underestimate the PEI part or the math.

smart

Good advice here re: PEI! It’s weighted the same as the case, so don’t overlook it.

Following. Good luck, OP!

What round are you prepping for?

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?

The job search is so nerve wrecking.

So I have been made an offer by a company I like but it’s pretty similar to my current package (I also like where I am). The recruiter is pretty intense and is pitting me against another candidate but says I’m the number one choice and is asking me for a number to say yes “but not too high or the team will look at the other candidate”
I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?
