No experience with case interviews before and have a case interview (experience hire at EM level) scheduled for next week.

I’ve been hearing that most people that do well have 20+ live case experiences; am i too late to practice? It’s not something that can be crammed last minute either

I did like 2 practice cases with my dad (former MD at a bulge bracket who has hired MBB teams) before my interviews and watched some of the crafting cases videos. I came in as an experienced hire EM with 10 years of consulting experience and found the cases to be pretty easy.

You can do 20 live cases in a week no problem. Just get the basics, it’s very much common sense

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
