What type of case studies are people getting when interviewing for Strategy roles? How about Finance? Are they the same style/depth as consulting case studies? Are the examples from as "Case in Point" or "Hacking the Case" a good representation? Going to start applying in the next month or two and want to brush up on my skills.

I just finished interviews for tech strategy positions and they’re all about undergrad case study level of difficulty, I.e market entry, market sizing, etc. and nothing around M&A or more complicated topics you’d see at the graduate/ MBA level.

What level was the role? How many YOE?

Hi Fishes,

Can anyone tell me how many rounds of interview are there in
JPMorgan Chase & Co?

I had only 1 round as of now, it was with the Process head VP along with the person I will be reporting (if got selected)

It's been almost 4 days since I had that interview; however, no feedback has been shared with me.

I can see that my profile/application is under review for basic requirements.

Should I consider my profile as reject?

Any thoughts/guidance would be highly appreciated.

Thank you

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
