If you’re asked to do a case study as the final round of the interview process (interview round number 4) would you continue with the process?

Ask how much they'll pay for your expert opinion on whatever case they want studied.

If it's unpaid be certain that it is just a critical thinking test and has nothing whatsoever to do with their actual business.

Or, if you either really want the job (or need it desperately to avoid disaster) then play along.

But make clear it seems like they want free work out of you (rephrase however you see fit, but that is the situation!).

I’ve decided to do something, but it won’t be relevant to their market. But, it is something I know.

Personally, I think these case study presentations during the interview process are overkill, and put people off.

I think it depends how much you want the role, are you willing to take a risk and spend some time if it means you get it? I do think it's a step beyond the usual interview process though
