So how are y'all prepping for the interview? (Haven't heard back for any rounds yet btw)

I understand the basic LBO questions - should I be prepping for the case portion of the interview? Any books to recommend? Thinking of going through the case in point book which seems heavily recommended. Would appreciate any insight since this case thing is new to me

 

Interviewed last year and didn’t get it. It’s a standard case, just like consulting interviews (incoming MBB now, so I can attest). Perhaps more thought on the “how do we make this bigger” aspect of the case. Mental math was fine, just lots of 0s. Brainstorming was hard because it’s so on-the-spot but practice and bit and that’ll also be fine.
