Hi Everyone, I have an interview at a Big 4 for an Operations M&A team. I have asked for sample cases and looked endlessly on the internet but am struggling to find any insight into what the case might look like. This is for an Integration & separation position. Along with case help, what framework would you use to solve these cases? Any insight is greatly appreciated!
