1. Cases are interviewee led so make sure you’re practicing that style. Always mention the “so-what” after each section

2. Structure - structure - structure. Not just when drawing the initial frame work. But also when doing the math (lay out the steps) and when brainstorming (segment the list at least once e.g. short term and long term ways to address the problem)

3. Don’t ignore behavioral please. They’re the first part of the interview and if those don’t go well chances are it’ll carry forward into the case. On the other hand if interviewer finds you a good fit, they may be more forgiving of errors during the case

4. Be conversational

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?
