I have preached and will continue to preach:

1. Rocketblocks for drilling
2.Crafting cases to learn theory (arguably the best resource out there)
3.CaseCoach for casing; best cases. Really hard and sometimes overindex on quant complexity, but still the best repository

🎉🎉 nice 😎

Just think logically through everything which you most likely do already. When in doubt, just say you don’t know. Be passionate, excited and show some drive. You’ll be fine.

Live practice with focus on structuring. Walk through your calculation before (best case) or while you're doing it (better than not speaking).

Reviewed company website, read tons of their case studies and white papers, read about the firm on indeed and glassdoor, things like that. I really didn’t know how to prepare so I focused on getting really familiar with the firm and their work.

I didn't have to do any of that lol (tech consulting)

was similar to tech roles: recruiter/hr stuff, typical interpersonal questions, a round of technical problems, then spoke to someone higher up

Interviewing at a dream company, and right from the first interview the recruiter told me we are way off on salary expectations. This was a little bit expected, as the role is requiring a few years less experience than I have and also in a much cheaper market. They already told me the salary range during this first call, but wondering if they like me enough and I get an offer, how I might approach negotiating for more. I would be making much less than I do now, but it is a dream company.

Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?
