Firstly, it enables a realistic simulation of the interview situation. Since your interview partners go through the same process, they can authentically simulate cases, which helps you get used to the structure and dynamics of case interviews. Furthermore, like-minded peers can provide valuable and constructive feedback. This feedback is particularly relevant because it comes from people who also understand the challenges of case interviews and can give specific, relevant advice.Another advantage is mutual learning. By observing and analyzing others' approaches, you can refine your own thinking processes and develop new solution strategies. This leads to a deeper understanding and better problem-solving ability. Regular practice with like-minded peers also helps build confidence and reduce nervousness. The more you practice, the more familiar you become with the format and expectations of a case interview, which can significantly improve your performance.
