Yes we do. Not much special to prep for / no tricks. It tests all the same core skills as a 'normal' case and didn't feel gimmicky like other less common formats (e.g group interview). My main advice: manage your time wisely; having a well developed hypothesis with some depth is better than skimming every possible superficial insight.

Higher offers at 27-28 with more fixed pay is from contract and hire/fire type companies. Mostly indirect hiring instead of direct employment with the final employer, means higher pay with lower jon security - we get little more pay, companies get the option to let go with ease later!

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation.

I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
