McK is an interviewer led case style. So very different. You’ll be asked questions and expected to solve portions of the case, but it will be more discrete and directed by the interviewer more

Expect uncertainty

McK is interviewer led. Less exploratory and more directional guidance. On the other hand you get less flexibility.

Eh, I think there's enough variability within BCG cases and within McK cases that it's difficult to draw broad distinctions between the two. A case interview is a case interview to an extent

I’ve applied to 3 program manager roles with google and even though I feel I’m over qualified, I’m not getting any interviews or even a screening call from a recruiter. I got NTD for 2/3 already.

If there is anyone willing to take a look at my resume and give me feedback on gaps they see in my experience that would be leading to this i’d appreciate it! If in fact I’m not the right fit now I would really appreciate knowing what to work on to make myself a stronger candidate in the future!
