UPDATE 8/15/24: as many have noted, 5M/200M=2.5% instead of less than 1% as mentioned in the video. I take this as a good sign that my audience is full of intelligent people who think for themselves. Thanks for the callout and for keeping me honest! You DO NOT need to be "good at math" to ace the case interview, but having the right approach and mindset can make things significantly easier. In this video, I explain how to navigate interview math, why math is tested, and mental math tips and tricks for case interviews.
