Things the interviewer said...

I interviewed for a lateral hire at a top management consulting company...I've been working at a different industry for a long time...

The way you approached the case interview was novel and unique Your thought process has a competitive edge Are you really sure you want this job? What other career objectives have you had? What has piqued your focus so far in life? You are like a gemstone but it will be a grueling two years to make you fit into this outfit; your demeanor is a little strange and you speak too slow What chance do I have?
