What position? H&B doesn’t have a case study

Not sure

Wild ask for entry level. Good luck friend

No case study in interview.

There are case studies in different practices. I’m just going to bluntly say, if they think they have the “answer” they may “pass” a technical component, but I’d be surprised if they were not highly critical of the behavioral qualities of the individual as well. Why is your friend not posting and having you do it on their behalf? Forget the case study - I have a feeling your friend wouldn’t do well in consulting behaviorally, which is a major component.
