the case

funnylikesmart

If you don’t do well on the entirety of the case you aren’t going to get passed through, sure you can take 1-2 small errors if you get back on track but the entire thing is important

Structure

Good to show a spike in one area. Try to have no major gaps in the case and focus your taking your biggest strength (framework, brainstorming, quant, insights, verbal comms. , etc.) from great to exceptional

What does an exceptional framework look like?

Hello Guys,
Need small advice,
I had my LWD on 27th june ,before a week of that i had HSbC last round in which I clearly told I wanted to join by 4th july as my next joining is due at that time.
HR agreed and told will fast track your bgv .
Now the problem is they released offer for 11thJuly saying will preponed in case bgv finished early.
Today I again got a mail for 18th july extension.

Am quite worried here now, as I already said no to other companies !should I try looking again.

I’ve been working for a company for 25yrs, looking for advancement. I’m considered an SME, managing people, Vendors and working on large system conversions. Have provided long term goals. When requesting feedback I’m told I’m on the right path, no suggestions on what to improve. I asked about timelines for advancement and not being given anything concrete. Recently interviewed with another company as a Vendor Mgmt partner. Individual contributor, high visible position with potential. Thoughts?
