I had an interview partner who asked for time to structure the final recommendation. Is this a good practice or should I refrain from it?
Hi there,
In theory, you can ask for around 20-30 seconds. Most interviewers will grant that request.
In reality, however, if you have an internalized process you can follow and have practiced it enough times, you can do it on the go without taking time.
Cheers,

Hi! This is a good practice.
At the end of the day, when you are doing a case you have no formal time limit, so play with it! Is it better to do a case with a 8/10 final recommendation, or a case with a 10/10 final recommendation taking 20 seconds more? I would say the second option is better!
I hope this helps.
Hi there,

It is fine to request time to structure your conclusion and I would personally recommend it, as there are only positive outcomes from it:
For this reason, I would request time.

I see no issue with asking for 30 secs just to gather your thoughts. It should take much longer, as the expectation is that throughout the case you'd be taking notes on key findings that will support a final recommendation.
