Is there a level in consulting at which case interviews are no longer relevant (like manager or senior manager), or will you always be expected to complete a case as part of an interview at a good firm?

In myCompetency portal, my primary skill is being displayed as X, where my primary skill is Y. When I tried to change it, it goes to my approver for approval and she's declined to approve it with reason that your interview was taken for X technology however it is not correct, my interview was taken on Y technology only.

Also, she mentioned that your current project is based on your X competency so we can't change it.
