honestly j made it super relatable to my experience as a student. I didnt act as if I had all the resources in the world and was very conservative w how much money I was going to make. I also had a section on risks and mitigates and set up the project in a way which described why my service was missing from the current market and the problem it seeks to solve. I also discussed why others hadn't entered the market but why there is still opportunity. Honestly didnt think it was gonna go far either so I didnt try hard on it too much.

 

If a megathreat is what you call getting yelled at by the VP, yes I’ve gotten one as well.

 

pre short, five behavioural questions and then some case question follow-up.

1. what do you think we do?

2. why you?

3. what's your greatest strength? this tripped me up bc i didn't have anything after the why you

4. idr exactly but it was something about a role model/inspiration

5. where else are you interviewing?

on the case, just got asked two quick questions about my justifications. again super quick interview.

 

Congrats! Do you remember what time you got the first round invite? Got nothing yet
