All my interview preparation to date has been on the McK interviewer led cases. Falling short in McK final round means exploring BCG and Bain, any tips or comments about the interviewee led cases? I have used the crafting cases resource to date.

Basically,

McK interviewer: “I’m hungry. How should we figure out where to go for dinner?”
You: [Framework!]

Bain/BCG interviewer: “My stomach is growling and I’m super tired.”
You: “It sounds like you’re hungry. Here’s how we can figure out where to go for dinner…[Framework!] … Given this, I think we should explore Mexican cuisine. Do you have any data on nearby mexican restaurants?”
