In IB recruiting at super days, getting any question wrong is a ding and typically get you out of the process, so yes it's a hard no.
are insanely hard brain teasers still very common?
I'm not sure what you consider 'insanely hard,' but you should expect a brain teaser in at least one of your IB interviews. Just a case of luck how many you get, but it's always better to be prepared.
Thanks man appreciate it
No body gaf if you get a brain teaser wrong as most don’t have a right answer it’s just being able to a) set assumptions b) make logical estimates based on them c) come to a conclusion while clearly showing a line of thinking
Were trying to see if you can think critically although personally I think these are just useless
not insanely hard but the only bank left asking brainteasers consistently and as frequently as consulting will be centerview
How tf do you even prepare for those? I’ve been asked a couple of hard ones and didn’t have a clue. Is there any guides or list?
