MANAGEMENT CONSULTED
About this episode

Send us a text

If you have a case interview coming up and you don't have weeks or months to prepare, this episode is for you. We go over exactly what you can - and should - do to get ready for an interview next week.

Listen to the end where we answer two listener questions: 

  • If I make a single math error, will I make it through the interview?
  • What is the right amount of case practice? Is it possible to over-case?

Submit your question for a chance to have it answered on the pod.
