Hi Jon,

Man kann grundsätzlich jeden Case im Schnellformat (also kurz in ~20min) oder mit etwas mehr Zeit ( ~40min) abarbeiten. Im Normalfall hast du ~30min Zeit, was dir als Richtlinie für diesen und andere Cases dienen sollte.

Viele Grüsse,

Moritz

Hi Jon,

If you can ask this in English you'll be likely to get more/better answers!

Using google translate I can see you're asking about the length of the case. Remember that real life cases are around 20-25 minutes…so make sure you're practicing the fast/short nature of real case interviews!

Yes, sure I should have asked it in English. Thank you so much for your reply!

Hi!

30-40min would be the average that you can expect in the interviewer. 

However, it really depends on the interviewer. Some of them will fast-forward you through certain parts, skip over others. At the end of the day, they're just trying to get a sense of you in the slot that they have so they might focus on different elements of the case or the interview as a whole.

Good luck!
Cristian
