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

How does search work at McKinsey? If it’s up to x weeks paid to find a job, how will they know if I’ve already accepted an offer? I’m trying to strategically declare search so I can have a backup offer and use my time to find something better, but I want to make sure that I don’t get in trouble lol. It’s also difficult to multitask finding a job and working on studies since you’re around the clock.

Got a verbal offer from Grant Thornton. The recruiter told me that they would get the paperwork over by Thursday or Friday. I mentioned that I am strongly considering the firm however I have other companies that I am also considering so I will be making my decision based on that. The recruiter then mentioned that I’ll likely have 3 days to respond after the offer is given. Is this normal? What should I do? Can I ask for an extension?
