Imo no reason to wait until halfway through to do live mocks. No idea what crafting cases is, rocket blocks is decent, but nothing compares to actual live cases. If you have people (more at peer level and not at Bain) you can start practicing with live tomorrow that’s ever I would do. There’s not much like actually doing live mocks

I take this with a grain of salt.

It depends A LOT on how good your mock interviewer is at giving feedback and expliciting the weaknesses. Also, it might be hugely inefficient to do a complete case.

I feel like mock interviews with peers who are also applying are usually much less productive than you realize when you're doing it. Interviewees don't know as much as they think they do to give feedback.

Crafting Cases drills are great for that, but anyway it depends on what works for each one, I guess.

like

1. Days 1-3: Learn the fundamentals using crafting cases
2. Day 4: use Rocketblocks to practice drills
3. Days 5 - 8: 3 Live cases with Bain consultants / managers with drills in between
4. Day 9: More drills
5. Day 10: Rest before interview

I applied at Workday on 15th May and went through 7 technical rounds of interview and received a verbal offer letter of 21LPA (hybrid)

Hi fishes,

I just got an offer from Morgan Stanley. The offer is indeed handsome and provides other benefits as well. The problem is I just relocated to Pune for my wife's work, we have set up our house here and now if I accept offer I again have to relocate to Bangalore because they aren't offering WFH. What should I do? I know Morgan Stanley is a very reputed firm and might make an enormous impact in my technical growth, but is it worth taking the pain of relocation again?? I am confused.
