First round, just a case — second round they ask you a bunch of questions (e.g., a time you struggled, your social security number, etc) and ask you to identify your mothers maiden name from a lineup

Simple case, framework plus math.

Make sure your factors are broad, case specific and go down at least three levels, and walk through the math as you do it.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.
