Firms and exits are comparable. Many may find a partner path at a larger firm with execution capabilities vs a strategy only shop. Also theres people you just dont want to work with everywhere and maybe OP has tun afoul of them. We have a pretty nice culture running these days…

Work through traditional case structures and frameworks a la Case in Point. But differentiating capabilities are in communication on your thinking and showing creativity in solutions. Share macro takes on factors influencing the case even if not getmaine to the specific solution at hand e.g., how might industry or global trends relate to the case in a way a senior executive would want to consider taking the solution forward. Dont underestimate how building rapport early in a case can help make your “client” excited to work w you.

I had a Manager interview with Strategy& - Financial Services. It was a profitability-ish case. The main idea was determine what a bank’s profits were decreasing. The case itself was not hard, but I was nervous. Thé interviewer was kind of stern and very serious, and I kind of froze a bit. There was not math. The feedback I got was that I was not structured enough. So, I’d recommend being very structure and communicating very well the structure.

Interviewed with Chicago court 2 weeks ago; they decide mid-August. Interviewed with DC judge last week; hear from him by this Friday. Chicago said if I need an answer before August, they'd try to make a decision about me sooner.
Should I ask Chicago for an answer? Or should I wait until there's an offer from DC judge? Maybe seems better to withdraw before an offer is made rather than ask for time to think about it/turn down DC? What's proper etiquette?
