Interviewing with MBB. Is it better to prepare for cases and then ask for a referral or ask for a referral and then I'll have enough time to prepare for cases? PS. Referral source is pretty strong.

How much time should I spend prepping for the cases? Some say doing about 30/35 cases should be enough

can i get ref? will answer in return

D1: not trying to brag. Have not idea about the referral/recruiting process. So wondering if it'd make sense for me to start prepping cases even before referral is made or if I'd have enough time to prepare IF they decide to move forward with recruiting

Lateral hire here. Prep before. I began 3 months before my interviews. Polished behavioral at same time.

Bcg2: that's what I'm planning. Have done case in point in past for my Deloitte interview. Thinking of doing Victor Cheng and another round of case in point

Also Bcg2: what was your profile (experience,mba) and what level were you brought in? And how was your recruiting process like (# of rounds, time etc) ? thanks

Lateral process is two rounds. 2 interview, then 3. I came as PL and all five interviews with partners.

That's helpful! Thanks again!
