Personal: empathy is key - a great case will not outweigh if you don’t connect on a personal level.
Case: structure! Don’t drill down too fast, make sure to have compelling structure/ framework first.
Presentation: answer all questions given in instructions. Ask what to focus on when running low on time.

like

Read: expect to do lots of calculations in one case, but not both/ all. Another case is likely aiming to challenge your business sense.
As far as business heavy: when making estimates/ educated guesses make sure to challenge yourself. When challenged by interviewer, take time to reflect, more likely than not you are way off.

Thanks S&1...since people are industry aligned from the beginning - is the case, also? Quant-heavy or more business heavy?

Pumped about this opportunity

People are not industry aligned right away and I don’t understand your question tbh. Expect one case to be heavy on calculus.

Calculus..? I just meant some firms are particularly quant heavy and others are more about creativity. Was trying to get a feel lol

Hey all! I went through the interviewing process with a company and we had a verbal agreement on X amount of salary per year. They liked me and extended an offer but the offer was for $15K less than what we agreed bc that’s what HR approved for. I was desperate so I took it. Accepting this offer meant that I had to relocate to the other side of the country. Omw that was 2500 miles, I received a call that they rescinded the offer. Is there anything legal that I can do to sue them?

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
