What is the best way to prepare for public sector cases? Is there a specific casebook or cases I could refer to? I am currently doing case prep for recruiting in the ME. Is it correct to assume most case interviews are focused on public sector or energy?

During interview I was speaking to the hiring manager. Felt interview was going well. He seemed impressed by my answers, excited by my skills, and even gave me a tour of the office. At the end, he asked about my home life. When I spoke of my 3 young kiddos, the manager got a little taken back and replied Oh you have children? I said yes ages 3, 5, and 7. He then proceeded to ask me about daycare arrangements and if I can be reliable. Red flag as his demeanor changed and made me feel unworthy.
