I’m listening to Victor Chang’s LOMS and can’t help but notice that his interviewee-led cases are… well, waayyy too interviewee led. It’s consisted of the candidate asking non-stop questions to the interviewer and the interviewer only sharing info that he/she asks. Is this how real case interviews are, or is LOMS just outdated? I’ve done my fair share of case interview prep and never have I seen anything like this. Anyone feel the same?

Victor Cheng is super outdated. He’s well-known but basically just markets his 3 years at McKinsey nearly a quarter of a century ago.

Should I even bother applying when there are more than 100 applications?

I had my Assessor interview this past week and received a pre-screening questionnaire that asked about dual citizenship status.

Tangentially, has anyone had an invoice with 30-day terms kicked back for revisions because the client's terms are longer, or do they just ignore what you've stipulated?
