bump
U hear back!
nope, still waiting
got an interview
When did you hear back?
this morning
congrats man. curious what your approach to the case was? like generally what did u do? and was the email a bcc like the case study or individualized?
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.
Congrats!! are u at a target?
Thank you - I'm at a west coast semi-target
When did you get the interview email? How was the interview? What were the type of questions?
If a megathreat is what you call getting yelled at by the VP, yes I’ve gotten one as well.

anyone have details on what the interview is like?
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.
