I am interviewing for Boston MBB offices and was curious how good my casing has to be to successfully get past round 1. Also does that level get elevated for round 2? Do I have to be perfect?

Hi there,
As you go through the rounds, the case expectations do not increase. You are expected to perform at your best level throughout, showing clear ability to structure the case quickly and clearly, communicate concisely, calculate with no errors (or if you do make an error, be able to catch it or take a step back and quickly re-calculate), and summarize and draw a clear recommendation. I suggest you try and work with at least one coach to ask their opinion on whether they would've passed you if it was a real interview.
Good luck!
