I found it very useful but I think you should be very deliberate in how you use it. I knew exactly what my weaknesses were and drilled down onto those bits. Definitely improved my mental math and helped me go into the interviews with confidence.

Can second this! Rocket blocks is great, but it’s better if you’re able to identify your specific weaknesses by doing a few full-cases early on to figure out which things consistently trip you up. Doing full cases from beginning to end of case prep can let you know if you’re improving in the areas you’re using rocket blocks to target.

FWIW I would start doing live cases pretty soon depending on when in Q1 your interviews are. I did live cases for about 2 months leading up to my interviews.

So a week ago, I asked on this bowl why my application was showing under "Business Review" even though I hadn't had a single interview or call from Citi, today, they sent me an automated email saying thanks for interviewing but the role is no longer available? Has Citi confused me with someone else? So weird! And no way to contact anyone in the HR team....so maybe I'm just going to stop applying to Citi because clearly they are promoting internally and just opening up these jobs as a show 🤷‍♀️

So right out of the gate, this manager asks me why some of the freelance roles I’ve had were only 1 to 3 months, as if this is a huge red flag. I told him that that’s what the agreed upon duration was. Anyone else have this come up?
