Experience:

Al-Amin Malami, a Master's graduate from the University of Cambridge, secured an offer for the Riyadh office. His interview process involved an initial HR screening interview, followed by four subsequent case interviews.

A significant emphasis in the interviews was placed on his motivation for the Riyadh office, with interviewers repeatedly asking "why Riyadh" to ensure his commitment and understanding of the local culture, which he related to his Nigerian background.

One notable experience was a transportation-related case, similar to a "hyperloop" case given during his preparation, which he initially struggled with but learned from. In his final interview round with a partner, he received a case that was almost identical to one he had practiced. The partner did not focus on the math but rather on his structure, which was solid and ultimately helped him land the job. He noted a significant improvement in his performance from the first to the final round after intense preparation.
