SOS post:

As a beginner what’s a few good YouTube channels and free pdf to start prepping for case interviews?

I have a week before a case interview style interview format.
I know folks prep for months but I just got a screening call today and was told case interview next week and I’m foundering(obviously).

It’s for an internal consultant role at a large life science company and deals with presenting strategic insights on sales and marketing of med devices and biologics.

TIA

For starters, talk to the recruiter to see if you can delay the interview. Being a hero here won’t help, definitely worth asking imo.

You can also explain you aren’t familiar with the format and would like a couple of weeks to make sure you are best prepared, however if it’s super time sensitive to do it early, you can still do it. ( That way you may get some sympathy credit).

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
