There are a bunch of free resources online! I’d start at the careers websites for all 3 firms, they’ve got the truest material.. I’ve heard there are also some grear youtube channels to look into
And if you’re ok with investing on more structured material I 100% recommend CaseCoach. I think its ~100usd and its a self paced course that covers everything you need for the case part of the interviews. Helped me a lot in the beginning of my prep to understand how to structure and communicate properly 😊

Company websites are the best resources! We did change some things recently, be aware of that when you look into YouTube are paid courses, they may not be up to date (yet)

Yes! I agree with the comment above. You can also supplement with youtube videos.
