Does your conclusion still have to be action oriented (+ 3 prong justification, risks and next steps) when you have not reached a conclusion in the case, i.e. you ran out of time and still did not prove your hypothesis?

Do you have a question for our industry experts, too?
Sign up for free and receive valuable insights and tips from our coaches.

1. How do you know when your structure is missing a bucket in candidate-led case interviews? Do you just exhaust your structure and then build a new one if you have reached a dead-end with the first one? 2. If you're missing a bucket, how do you go about addressing this when the interviewer points it out? Should you ever ask the interviewer (in a subtle way of course) if there is anything missing in your structure?
