Columbia Interview - Attire
Hey Guys,
I've got a CBS interview on a Sunday at a coffee shop. I was going to wear a formal suit with a tie but now I'm not sure. Do you guys have an idea of what's appropriate - should I go with a sport coat?
Thanks.

Consulting Associates and...

Week away from dday - IR section strategy
Hi All, I'm about a week away from my test. So preparing for last minute stuff. What's the overall best strategy for IR? Is it better to just concentrate on 8-9 of the 12 questions and get them right or is it better to solve them all with the possibility of getting a few wrong? I've heard that on IR...
