Hi!
During mock interviews, I often hear that while I'm methodical and possess a strong business acumen, I take too long to wrap up the case, sometimes not finishing at all.
In cases with limited components that demand in-depth exploration (e.g., a single framework, analysis, chart, brainstorming segment, and recommendation), I typically conclude within the allotted time and receive positive feedback. Yet, there are cases that appear multifaceted, almost like they comprise several sub-cases, and the anticipation is that I swiftly navigate through certain sections.
How can I discern when a case demands an in-depth look at few elements versus when it calls for a broader overview of numerous components as I'm working through it?
Thank you so much for this clarification! As a beginner I've been trying to practice under pressure and worrying all the more at how I wouldn't be able to complete a case in less than 40mins. Your explanation is the single most comforting thing I've read all week haha
