Prepping for superdays and realizing I’m either a robot reciting models or too vague in behavioral answers. Heard some consultants use hybrid mock drills – any proven formats that simulate switching gears between LBO math and ‘tell me about a setback’ under time pressure? How do you balance depth vs. conciseness?
‘proven formats’ – just get a friend to yell ‘SWITCH’ every 2 mins while u talk. real talk: nobody balances it. either ur a quant or a poet. pick one and pray the interviewer prefers that type
