Hello! I've just received the case 24 hours in advance to the interview and am getting prepared for the interview. Does anyone have any advice in terms of what to focus on (analytics, solutions, background)? How in depth should my analytics be?

Thanks!

Hi there,

how was your interview? Are they more picky if they provide you with the case a day earlier? I might have to go through the same process so that's why I'm asking.

Looking forward to your response. Thank you!
