They are meant to be hard. But if you look at them as if you are solving a problem as a consultant, you will enjoy them. I enjoyed doing them- learned so much. Ended up in final round with all three MBB, obviously with no offer. But still thought doing cases was a great experience

Did you not have to do case interviews to get the job you're at? Or the other jobs outside of Deloitte I assume you applied for?
Not that it really matters, just curious. Good luck!

No because technical roles usually have technical questions

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

Does any one have recommendations for resume writer specializing in consumer lending or risk management? I reached out to a few resume writer and they don’t feel they have the expertise to help. Thanks in advance
