Sometimes I get asked about an unfamiliar market or concept and I genuinely don't know the fact. Is it better to admit that, or should I always try to reason something out?

My interviewer skipped the fit section completely. Does that mean anything?
- Interview Process
My interview was scheduled for both fit and case, but we spent the whole time on the case and never got to behavioral questions. Is that a bad sign, or just interviewer timing?

Is it okay to ask which case format my interview will use?
- Interview Process
My invite just says 'case interview' and doesn't say whether it will be interviewer-led or candidate-led. Is it okay to ask recruiting which format to expect?

Can I use an example from a failed project as a fit-interview story?
- Interview Process
One of my strongest leadership examples is a project that ultimately missed its target. I learned a lot and changed the team's direction, but the final outcome wasn't a win. Is that still a good fit story?
