During my first case interview, the problem felt difficult in the way that matters—there were lots of cost components and other variables to untangle.

Even though the math requirements weren’t extreme (a calculator was allowed), I could feel the interview pushing for structure more than raw computation.

I had to think carefully about how to lay out assumptions and separate fixed and variable costs, because the “right” answer depended on handling the scenario logically. I ended up doing the calculations, but the bigger takeaway was that the interviewer cared deeply about how I reasoned through the model, not just where the numbers landed. I left realizing I’d need my thought process to be cleaner than my final arithmetic.
