I keep hearing from consultants as well as people who have recently interviewed that they end up only having about 15-30 min maximum for the cases as the behavioral part went long, interviews running late, etc. and the cases are rarely ever completed but the important part is the interviewer seeing how the candidate things/functions/presents themselves/etc.
However most advice I read about case interviews, plus tools like LOMS, etc. always seem to mention the 40 min case interviews and the candidates solving the cases completely...anyone have any knowledge on this/if 40 is actually the norm? Also if we've been practicing going through cases in about 40 min. any advice on how to shorten that down or show the interviewer that we know the logical next steps for what we'd do/investigate when we're running out of time?
Not sure if it's firm/office/country specific, but I'm applying for firms in the US, Spain, and Germany (yes, I speak the local languages).
