Very difficult if you go into it with no prep and not knowing what a case interview is

Very doable if you prepare and master the format

Some people take 5 practice cases to get it, some people take 50. Most are in the 15-30 range

Did you confirm if phone eval has a case? Seems like phone evals are just to gauge fit/preparedness and determine if you should be invited for an interview or not.

2 weeks is a short amount of time to learn casing. Also Victor Cheng is pretty cookie cutter stuff. Use that as a starting point to develop your own frameworks that you can then customize to the industry/issue at hand

8.1 out of an 11 point scale.

Hi! I am seeking for an advise, anything helps! I applied to Accenture’s entry level analyst program. I applied a few days ago (I know it’s a bit late, but the application is still open thankfully). Yesterday, I joined a resume workshop w/ an Accenture recruiter. She went through my resume and said that I have a strong one! I’ve also set up a coffee chat w/ her next week. Unfortunately, I got an email today from the system, they decided not to move forward :( Should I reach out to her abt this?
