Im a rising junior and finding a lot about recruiting process lately and I applied for few internships as well. I heard people say to practice 25 cases. If so, am I already late? Do you have any advice on how i should manage my time preparing?

I don't think the actual number matters as much as practicing across the board, consistently. Try to practice as many as you can, but I wouldn't worry about being late, just get started asap. Preparation is 90% practice.

The most important thing is to understand the different types of cases and the purpose of them. Once you know that they really can be a fun way to interview. It’s all about how you think/approach a problem.

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer. But they're saying that they'd discuss the offer only after the other company that I'm interviewing with has come up with an offer first. There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?
