It’s a combination of both, behavioral: tell me about a time with a case component to it by giving you some numbers to think through wrt structure, quant and qualitative questions.

Which firm?

It’s a Healthtech startup

They will give you a situation and ask what you would do if you were in that situation

It's kind of a case interview but less emphasis on frameworks and more on critical thinking.

Ex: what would you do if you came in one morning and customer service call volumes were up 500%

I spent the first few years out of school working in music before getting into advertising as an account person. Quickly realized it wasn’t for me. Busted my ass working with the creatives on the side until I was able to build a decent enough portfolio for an agency to take a chance on me as a full time CW. I think I’ll be a Senior CW soon, but it feels like most folks my age (30) have been in that role for a bit or already past it. Since I can’t turn back time, any tips for catching up?

They reached out and would like to interview. But when I went to look over the job details again, I found their listing on ZipCruiter gives a pay range, which at their high end is $20k less than my minimum salary reqs. Should I still interview with them? If not, how can I politely reply and decline the interview?
