About this episode

Send us a text

As we wrap up this Intro to the Case series, we're talking about the final recommendation. The final recommendation is an opportunity at the end of a case interview to provide a concise, clear, and structured recommendation to answer the case objective.

It's one of the most critical pieces of the interview, because it's the interviewer's last impression of you. Make sure you finish strong by listening to this episode!
