Strategy cases were very standard. Quant ranged from just a market sizing to a full blown case that was very math heavy. The written case is a bit unique so I would try to get someone from lek to give you a practice one beforehand.

Really didn’t see any traps like I did during my Bain cases. Don’t forget about your behaviorals

After a final interview, how many days after can I expect an answer from the recruiter?

At the end of the interview, the person told me I passed the interview and they were going to talk to the Director who’s a level under them. It’s a yes for them and they’re happy to work with me.

I also sent my references. I don’t know when I can expect an reply. Recruiters from that company aren’t really organised

With everyone seeming to be “hiring” I’ve had job interviews with various firms: EY, Plante Moran, Doren Mayhew, Rehmann, to name a few..
Apparently I just suck at interviewing, or the firms in my area are not hiring. 🤦
