What companies don’t require case interviews? For example, I know Bloomberg is mostly general work experience / behavioral interviews.

More to the point: why are you avoiding case interviews?

I can say there’s a good comparison between the work I do on a daily basis and the cases I faced when interviewing. Case interviews gauge a candidate’s thought process (structuring) to see how they’ll fare in a real world problem solving session.

If you’re concerned about your ability there are online prep courses you can take. Once you understand the types of questions and the frameworks to apply it becomes a lot easier. On the other hand, if you’re avoiding case interviews because you don’t like that kind of thing, then you may want to rethink why you want to be in consulting.

I definitely don’t want to be in consulting lol. I just happened to get here and have stuck around. No clear exit opps yet.

But generally speaking - no I’m not worried about my ability, but instead the latter. Mainly because time spent with cases reduces time spent for me to gain insights on the people and culture. (Sure, not much can be known because it’s team and project dependent. But something is always better than nothing).

To each their own.
