I have been full time preparing consulting interviews (2 months). I have been practising around 1 case per day, but sometimes I feel demotivated because I don't have many interviews lining up. Any advice on how to keep the motivation of preparing case interviews, under the uncertainty of getting an interview?
Hi Anonymous,
a couple of tips:

Hello!
Totally understand your frustration.
I would slow down on preparation and focus this effort on getting the interview (e.g., networking, attending to events, etc.)
Hope it helps!
Cheers,

I understand the feeling, it gets repetitive and you start to lose interest. One thing that worked for me is instead of only focusing on cases I started to analyze everything around me as a case. For example - how can I make the boarding process more efficient at an airport, how to increase revenue for my favorite smoothie shop, how does population growth affect GDP etc. I took problems I really liked and applied case principles to them and really enjoyed it
All the best,

that's a great way have fun and learn, one day after case practice we tired to solve a case of saving toilet paper at home
Hi, 60+ cases are enough. I recommend to slow down now and do a final rush when interviews will be scheduled.

Hi,
One method is to track your cases and look at what's "missing". I have an industry-to-case-type matrix you can use if you like. Feel free to shoot me a message for it!
Hi,
Why don't you start interviewing with 2nd Tier / Big 4? It will keep you energized
Best
