I'm sorry if this question has already been asked.
I'd like to practice and prepare for case interviews, but I unfortunately don't have the budget for a coach, nor do I have any classmates or peers to practice with (I've already graduated). What are some good alternatives?
I've been considering using ChatGPT to run through some case examples. Alternatively, I could follow along with case interview videos on YouTube and pause to answer as if I were in a real interview. I've also thought about purchasing something like the Crafting Cases structuring course to get a few more reps in.
What other suggestions would you have? And more specifically, what would you say is the most effective way to prepare if coaching is not an option?
More specifically, I’m trying to improve three things:
- My structuring ability (building clear, MECE frameworks under time pressure)
- Clear and concise communication – both asking the right clarifying questions and communicating top-down when synthesizing
- The quantitative side of casing – doing the math quickly and accurately, and reading and interpreting charts, graphs, and tables
