The Modern Case Interview

Case interviews aren't just for consulting anymore - and prepping like they are is exactly why smart candidates get caught off guard at tech companies.

The Modern Case Interview is built specifically for the business-judgment interviews now used across strategy, product, business operations, chief of staff, and FP&A roles at technology companies, startups, and in-house teams. These interviews look and feel like a consulting case interview, but they run on different math (unit economics and funnels, not just profitability trees), different case content (should we build this feature, why did this metric drop, should we kill this product), and a behavioral layer tied directly to each company's own leadership principles. This book teaches the full case-solving foundation with the same rigor any strong case-prep resource would - then builds every case type, every worked example, and every framework specifically for the roles and companies where this format actually shows up today.

What's inside:

- How tech case interviews differ from classic consulting cases, and how to adapt your structuring approach

- First-principles framework building for prompts that don't match any textbook case

- A complete unit economics and funnel math toolkit: CAC, LTV, churn, conversion rates, and how they connect
