Is it a bad sign if the interviewer wraps up the case interview after about 30 minutes? I guess we were done, but I've never had a case interview that didn't last at least an hour.

That could go either way. It's possible you did great and got a green flag for efficiency. It's also possible you bottomed out. If you missed a major branch of the logic tree, the interviewer may have already reached the "no hire" decision. How to know: If you did the math quickly, that would have saved you ten minutes, and if you found the pivot or the twist and solved for it quickly you could have done well in a half hour.

The shortest case interview I've been a part of was just shy of 45 minutes. But I guess the question is, do you feel like you completed your interview or was it cut short in the middle of the process?

Anyone have any advice or insight on interviewing for a GS General Attorney position? I’m really excited and working to prepare for an interview I’ve been offered.

I’m a litigation junior associate in private practice now, but have a long academic background in international trade, policy, and security.

Hi fishes,

I had actually applied through a referral to Deliotte for Fx settlemets position. I got a call from Hr asking for CTC and notice period. Haven’t heard back since 2 weeks. Does it take long for them to schedule a interview or what could be the case?

I messed up my screenshare in a meeting with 2 colleagues and showed my personal email that had scheduling info for my onsite interviews with another company. I closed it but it was up long enough for them to see it. Now they both pretend like they saw nothing and I felt panic for some reason. How were your experiences when letting it out the bag early like that?
