I’m glad someone pointed this out about the case study/brain teaser interviews:

> “Many wealthier students have a sense of this, he says, from parents or networks, but to low-income students—save the handful who receive coaching—it’s utterly counterintuitive. “This is one of the major ways that consulting firms—and, really, investment banking firms—block low-income students,” Portela said. For all practical purposes, the case study “is in another fucking language.”

Being raised on welfare and paying for college on my own, I hated the post-grad interview cycle because it seemed so asinine. Almost 20 years later, I’m somewhat better at knowing how to answer these questions, but I can’t help but to acknowledge the cynical side of these questions in finding surreptitious ways (either intentionally or unintentionally) discriminate against low-income candidates.

Can you give some example questions?
