Plenty of time! You'll do fine. I found some YouTube videos that were helpful

I did the same thing. Under two weeks prep from zero. YouTube is the move

Very good podcast from Crafting Cases on what to do if you only have 2 weeks. Have you done any prep or are we starting at square one?

like

Thanks, I’ll give that a listen! And I’ve have done about 10 cases (with peers) over the past 1.5 weeks. Still feel under-prepared and not sure how I could structure the next week

Take Crafting Cases' free one week online case interview prep (you can crank it out in under a week) and do all the practice cases on the websites of MBB

Practice especially structuring your information and how to tie together and present information / data like a step by step equation with the "so what"/ big picture in mind

You’ll be fine! I prepared and passed my interview in a week. That was my first ever case interview.

How did you prep during that week? What do you think was the biggest success factor??

You've got this. Take deep breaths and you will be fine. Confidence is key.

Don't stress yourself too much about it. You'll be just fine. Sometimes, if you think too much you get even more distracted. So just relax and always think positive. good luck.

Im interviewing for an internal promotion at my current employer. I’ve previously expressed a lot of interest in this specific role and it’s well known throughout my division my interest.

I’m considering withdrawing my application, but I’m afraid of the optics and future career at this company. Thoughts?
