Well it’s depends on your current level🧐

Definitely intense...I was sweating while sitting there, didn't fully finish my deck, but had read enough to keep going on the fly. There will be a lot of information to absorb - figure it out quickly, build simple slides, take a position and make sure you have an answer to all the questions in the case. (Yes, I got an offer)

Do you mind if I DM you?

What role/level are you interviewing for?

The purpose of the case interview is to see whether we can put you in front of a client - can you thoughtfully interpret data, do basic calculations, identify caveats or considerations, and communicate those back to the interviewer clearly and with confidence? If so, you've met the basic benchmark for "good"

Amex people thoughts on this offer, as I have recently(4 months back) joined a startup with Base(33) and CTC(35.5) but not enjoying the work here. Amex brand tag and culture is good.

Hence, considering the offer, does this offer look good or is there any scope of improvement? Amex American Express

Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
