What do you mean by worried? You should prepare accordingly for a case interview, just like an undergrad or MBA hire would...

I would practice 5-10 cases with other people. There’s another bowl for it. I spent months preparing for my experienced interviews (and ended up staying where I was).

Don't be worried at all, experienced consultant. Preparation is overvalued. Just wing it.

funny

Sense some sarcasm. I meant 15+ years experienced consultant (MD level).

I had an initial interview on Wednesday. About an hour later, I got a call from an internal recruiter from the same company wanting to follow up and see how the interview went. I didn’t see the voicemail until the following morning when I was at work and called her back that afternoon when I was out of work. I still haven’t heard from her. Is this normal? Should I not try calling back again? I’ve been at my job for several years, so I am unfamiliar with how I should handle a situation like this.
