Behavioral Case Technical
Big tech and consulting firms usually have a structured interview process. You'll go through multiple rounds, likely four or more. They want to see if you have the technical chops and if you'll fit in. Expect a mix of behavioral questions, case studies, and sometimes job-specific tests. Behavioral interviews dig into your past experiences, how you make decisions, work in teams, and lead. Case interviews test your problem-solving and analytical skills, and how well you can explain your thoughts clearly when things get intense. To get ready, really study the sample questions and case examples on their websites. They're a good clue about what they're looking for and how they'll judge your answers.

- I enjoy playing poker but need help with shuffling. Here’s my method: Take the top card to start a second pile. Then, take the next top card and place it under the second pile. Next, take the following top card and place it on top of the second pile. Repeat these last two actions until the first pile is empty. Given a starting deck of cards, can you determine the final order after I shuffle them?

Other Behavioral Case
It started with an online assessment featuring multiple-choice problem-solving questions. After that, a phone screen followed, covering behavioral aspects and role expectations. The next step was a mini case study interview, which involved on-the-spot problem-solving questions where I had to discuss my thought process.
