Case Interviews
When should I synthesize during a case interview?
I understand that I need a final recommendation, but when else should I stop and synthesize during the case? Is there a good rule for when a synthesis is actually useful?

More simply, whenever you need to structure your thoughts. Are you feeling lost/confused about where you are? Synthesize! Is there a possibility your interviewer isn't sure where you are or where you're going? Synthesize!
