Hahaha you think technical business interviews are more challenging than se interviews. Do an interview for Jane street or two sigma :) I have all the cracking the case interview books by people who go ran mckinsey and other firms, it’a a joke

No I’d guess they’re similarly challenging just in different ways.

You really think they are similarly challenging in any way? I have a brother who is a VP at a big consulting firm and have first hand knowledge how the interviews are conducted and how candidates prepare for them. The level of skill that is required for a candidate in Software Enginering at a similar company (fangaa) is immense and the competition is ruthless. It’s disingenuous to say the interviews are similarly challenging in any case. If you can provide some points or thoughts on how they are similar in level of challenge I would greatly appreciate it.
