The Case Interview Podcast

In this episode we will show you how to create great structures fast in your case interviews (instead of mediocre structures slowly).
You will learn...

• How fast you really need to be when creating your initial structures (everyone says it's 2 minutes, but it's not that simple...)
• The bi-modal structuring practice technique that will help you improve the quality of your structure while decreasing the time you take to build it
• How to NEVER be caught off-guard when the interviewer finally interrupts your thinking time and asks you to start speaking
