Advice: I applied for Edad program with McKinsey & Company, it’s a three-day kinda workshop. I received an email asking me to do the “ Solve the Game” McKinsey test. Given my busy schedule, especially that I am kicking off a project as we speak, I would like to hear your thoughts on

1) What kind of preparation is needed for the test? Any recommended sources? 2) Does it hold any weight in my assessment for the workshop - I haven’t really applied for any job?

The test is a crucial part of the recruitment process (I have also received an invitation to do it for a BA role)

The test does require you to set up time to preare:

1.) Eco-system game: There will be useful excel documents (may have to pay) in order to successfully complete the game on time

2.) Redrock study: Watch a couple of videos as to what this game consists of and tactics to tackle it.

Overall my advice would be to purchase a guide (from a repuratable provider) which will run you through in detail what you need to do.

FYI: The guide would come in handy for other applications you make to McKinsey in the future (so it may be a worthwhile investment)

Thanks for sharing your take on this!
I’ll pass it, I have a project to kickoff and a client who’s already demanding progress 😂

Hey Fishes,

I have a manager level interview coming up. Cloud DevOps role. YOE: 11. Current CTC: 19. Already holding an offer for 36. Do you guys think EY GDS will match it. I am planning to play it safe by not revealing counter offer figure to manager, but later reveal it to HR during salary discussion. Is this a good strategy. Anyone here joined EY GDS recently
