Really, doing well in cases is mostly about doing the basics really well. I don't really care if someone happens to know a lot about industry X if they can't lay out a simple effective structure, do basic calcs erorr-free, communicate clearly, or come to a single recommendation based on the information they found.

In that spirit, here are some general tips for casing:

  • From me a while back: Link 1
  • From Parmesan123123: Link 2 (you'll need to scroll down a bit, cause the link is to my own comment which was less useful than Parmesan's)

Master the basics. listen to the interviewer and be coachable, try to drive the conversation, and have a firm recommendation at the end.
