McKinsey & Company McKinsey & Company been working here one year and received pretty positive feedback. Given the expectation for people of my tenure to transition to EM in a year or so, I can’t see myself staying due to the WLB as an EM. I’m 35 and have 2 young kids. Can it even be realistically done?

I ask about past projects and get a feel for their technical expertise. Based off of that, I generally ask them knowing what they know now about X, what different application should this have been applied to? what systemic changes would have had to make it production ruggedized? and what additional modifications could / should be made in future iterations of the MVP? I then have then size the project and diagram the information flow.
Additionally, I have them write a constrained feature, convert to a story and stub the programming. Then I talk to them about writing the feature for a BI reporting, Data Science, and an old school budgeting / econometrics perspective.
