I believe Jay actually works at Cohere now (although I’m a little surprised that the post doesn’t state that).

I've found the interview process for management consulting roles to be surprisingly similar to tech interviews.

Most interviews are presented as cases[1] where students/applicants have to analyze and propose a strategy to handle example client situations in ~60m.

I've found that the people who have the most success with the interviewing process are the ones who do the most mock and focus on optimizing their skill-set for the interviews, rather than for the actual positions (which is unfortunately similar to tech recruiting and algo/whiteboarding problems).

There is also a ton of online case prep[2] and training materials specifically for the interview process, akin to CareerCup/CTCI/HackerRank/etc.
