If it’s 1 hour, I’d expect it to be 20 mins of get to know you and your background, 30-40 mins of case and then that last variable 10 mins of just questions you have. Cases are fairly straight forward. They give you the “case” and you take a min, think about it and then go at it. Sometimes people like to do numbers, sometimes people don’t and just want to talk through mechanics. Usually very laid back

Depends on the person

Recently did a series of interviews for experienced associate with S& -- didn't do any full case study. Mostly experience based with some highlevel "case like" questions.

I.e. What would be the P&L impact of switching from on-prem sales to SaaS (as a software business)

The salary bands are pretty public on here. I applied to SA (really above my experience, just a shot in the dark out of bordem) and was offered A3.

That's what I make now and I don't love pure strategy so I stayed where I am

Everyone writes their own cases and does what they want

Lol oh man.

Is the desired outcome something I can clarify with the interviewer?
