better for a superday/power round at McKinsey or splitting R1 and R2? Opted for the latter because I think it'll be easier to deal with 2-3 interviews at a time vs 4 at once. Also could use the feedback before talking to more senior folks. Any thoughts welcome!

Def split it. Exactly for reasons you said. Gives you chance to react to R1 feedback and improve for R2.



To be fair, it is high bar to pass R1. We don’t have a quota system, so everyone who passes R1 has won the confidence of their R1 interviewers that they could/should pass R2.

Said another way. Folks who get offers in R2 are typically the same type of folks who will get offers on Super Day.

Edge cases who actually benefit from R1/R2 split will be very few and far between. But still makes sense to give yourself the benefit ;) good luck

Agree - you want to be fresh and ready to think.

I would love to see the % of successful candidates of both modalities, as I suspect they will be quite different (thought there may be self selection stuff there too).

I personally preferred 4 in one day to get it over with but depends on what feels best to you!

I went super round many years ago as that was the only option given. Two in the morning. If you made it through first round, you’d do 2 in the afternoon. I was out by 5/6 pm

I split and feel it was the right move

I planned McK in the morning and another firm in the afternoon because I didn’t really know what to expect. My afternoon did not go well. Split :)
