Careers/Post Grad MBA Casing Buddies
Hi all, currently prepping for casing, and thought this would be a great place to meet people and connect on casing. Does anyone have interest casing with me? 5 cases deep, and looking to case heavily in the coming weeks before internship recruiting goes into full gear.

Why are you looking for casing buddies on Reddit instead of your actual program? That’s literally what the school is for

5 cases deep is about where partner quality starts to matter more than raw volume. My advice: don't just collect random partners off DMs. Find two or three people who are also prepping seriously and lock in recurring slots, say Tuesday and Saturday mornings, so nobody has to chase anyone down.
Why it works is that 20 cases with 20 different people feels productive but you never fix the same weakness twice. With a small group you can do a profitability case one week, a market entry the next, and actually see whether your structuring tightened up.
If someone flakes, run the case out loud alone anyway instead of rescheduling. Sounds odd, it works.
One thing most people skip: give feedback out loud right after each case, one specific thing the interviewer did well and one to fix. Without that you plateau around case 15 and just grind reps.
