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?

I applied for a job at a well-known healthcare company a couple of months ago. I had a number of remote interviews and then they asked me to fly out for a final round of in-person interviews. Later that week they told me that they were going to be making an offer. Another week has gone by and still no offer. They said they are still working on it. Is this the new norm for recruiting? I have other offers and can't keep waiting for these foot draggers.

Hi Fishes,
I had a technical discussion for HCL on 3rd Oct. It's been more than a week. I still haven't received a status on that interview. I have also received a "Resume shortlisted" mail from their careers app after a week.
Does it mean I'm selected? There's no intimation of the status at all. The HR don't reply on mails/calls.
Can anybody advise on this of they been through the same.

Might be off topic, but guys please, take care of your health. I've been rejected by all companies in the last 2 months.

It's important to push yourself to achieve your goals, but don't forget to "Live" in the process.
