How case interviews actually work

Twelve guides on the parts of a case interview that decide the outcome: how the scorecard is filled in, how to structure a problem you have never seen, the arithmetic that keeps coming up, and the habits that quietly cost points. Written by the two of us, who used to run these interviews.

Start here · What the interview is, and what it is marked on

Structure · Building a structure that fits the problem in front of you

Case types and the maths · The recurring case shapes, and the arithmetic behind them

Formats and firms · Who drives the case, and what changes between firms

Practice and pitfalls · Getting reps that count, and the habits that cost points
