OP I would ask them for 1 extra day.

I’d say exactly 2.3 extra days.

Maybe not. But do you have a choice?

Plenty of time

You applied or recruiter reached out?

EY 1 - how does it really matter? Does that change his prep timelines?

Haha 1 extra day?

It’s typical. Your call on if it’s enough

Should be fine, you have the advantage of already working in consulting

Did you do a telephone case interview (round 1) or were you asked to go straight to the in-person interview ?

Straight to round 1

Question on entering consulting. Worked for a non-profit for six years, entered healthcare tech last year as a CSM, and just got an offer from a life sciences consulting firm. My hope is to eventually get into more broad strategy consulting (MBB or big 4, have connections at both). Would working at a more boutique firm limit or help in the long run? I don’t want to be in life sciences forever but figured it could be a good launchpad into consulting. I’m 30 so not old, but also not young.
