Applied for a counsel position at McKinsey and have been invited to complete a 30 minute written exercise with two hypos. I wondered if anyone had ever seen these from McKinsey specifically and could give any insight to what it's about -- substantive, more blue sky like their consulting interviews, other?

I know a couple others that got that same email from McKinsey this morning. Nobody has an idea

Good to know we’re battling it out… :) But again I think that’s “on brand,” ya know? I worked in tech consulting before law, so I was surprised when seemingly no one did this. I’m just now u accustomed!

I have a two-hypo time scheduled for next week for an AGC role. How was yours? Subject matter specific?
