Me! I messed up the math. Got this:

- Strong, creative framework
- Personable comms style
- Math mistake was unrecoverable as I got lost in my own calculations

I failed in the first round. Just didn't get a proper grasp on the case so my structure was horrible. I was surprised by getting a written case with a bunch of supporting materials and had a hard time focusing on what was important. Also case was just 10 mins (not bc of my performance, was like that for everyone) and I had only prepared longer ones.

Numerical and personality tests were great though lol

(This was in 2016)

What about the math did you mess up C1? Is it simple things like zeros?

Super competitive where I interviewed for final round and didn’t jive with one of the interviewers. He kept telling me to go one way with the case and I just didn’t pick up what he was putting down. But I did get an offer to re-interview 3 months later, which I turned down.

Loved the company though. Seemed like a really great group of people.

Partially venting, and partially asking if this is worth sticking through: I am a junior associate. About a month ago, I made the move to a larger firm. Since day 1, one of the partners has constantly put me on the spot, quizzing me every time he calls, which gave me a lot of anxiety, but I was dealing with it. Up until recently, the same thing happened, and he yelled at me, screamed that he was pissed off, when I didn’t know the answer to one of his questions. Now he doesn’t delegate any work..
