Guys there’s this boot camp that I came across that trains people to get jobs in Top consulting firms and has a fee plan wherein you pay once you get placed. I just wanted to know if someone here has any experience with this ?

That’s new, 1-2 year max. I didn’t have to do it as candidate but got the “practice link” to check it out this year. IMO it’s easier than an in person case: more straightforward questions, one or two multiple choice, can use a calculator 😂
Would advice to write short, concise answer, hitting the buzzwords if you can, e.g. cannibalization of sales might be the cause. I’m guessing it’s graded by a combination of AI and people so the easier you make it for the reader/ software, the better.
If you also have an in person case, the interviewer does not know about your online case and does not read your answer (source: I’m a first round interviewer)
In person interviews are same as usual, except probably via Zoom now. So the usual best practices apply: clear framework, be hypothesis driven and logical, always think about next steps, summarize what you know so far and what it means for the problem you’re solving regularly, etc.
Only extra tip with the virtual shift is be really really clear on how you’re structuring the calc because I can’t just look over your scratch paper to help redirect (e.g. I’d like to evaluate the decline in revenue by calculating the revenue for 2019 and then 2020. To do that I will multiply the volume and the price for each product). I know it sounds really stupid but for the more complex math problems, if you tell me your logic in advance I might be able to help suggest an easier path vs. just watch you go down some convoluted path in horror
