Bain & Company Can someone recommend a good starting point on how to go around solving case interviews? What frameworks should I follow? I am kinda new to case interview and want to develop skills to solve them. Any books, online sources would be really appreciable.

Chances are you won’t even think about them in a couple months
But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep in touch with your coworkers afterwards.

Funny that with all that “planned growth”, they failed to provide for any promotions or raises. You made the right call.
It's a tricky situation though. You either pay more to keep employees who might be thinking of leaving, or pay more unnecessarily for employees who perceived that they were doing well. I would say most have no issues with their progression, so why pay more right.
The guilt is normal in a job change and it goes away. Like CO1 said, you won’t think about it in a couple of months.

^ Loyalty level you should maintain in career progression. Sometimes you shuffle the order for certain processes (don’t do something bad for the company to protect your department etc) but that should be the general hierarchy.
I hope I'm making the right choice to deroot myself in a comfy environment and try an untested culture... New set-up so there are both upsides if pipeline scales fast and I can perform, and also downside if pipeline cannot be sustained
Exactly this was me when I left my abusive ex deloitte!
Yes I think you might be right. I'm just not ready to move to industry yet. Wanted to move only from EM onwards :/ I think I have some firepower left to tank the DDs to come
As long as you didn’t burn any bridges, then yeah you could return, and maybe even at a higher level. They aren’t naive to how job hopping for pay and promotion goes. Reasonable to have mixed feelings on it, but don’t feel guilty. We all out here tryna pay the bills and provide for better lives, and we gotta do what we gotta do to make that happen
Definitely managed to keep relationships. I honestly think returning is not entirely impossible, given how much I liked the culture. They wanted to counter, but I thought pay is not everything.
Does it sound consolatory that I feel joining a competitor might make me appreciate the old firm's expertise and way of doing things, and could even be better if I return in X years?
Leave and come back back if it makes sense money and role wise. This industry is about moving and growing. Don’t let anyone get you down for looking out for yourself.
