Can anyone speak to the case interview experience as a candidate interviewing for a role on the “expert track” at McKinsey. I know they say the cases should be the same but just wanted to hear people’s experiences and if the expectations are any different

Skeptical of what McK tells you even before you recruit?! You’ll fit in. 🤣

Haha thank you. My first case interview is in a few weeks and I’m just wondering what other people have experienced. I have a tech background and I’m nervous.

Mckinsey HR reached out for a 30-45 minute interview for an expert role. Unsure if I should start prepping or if there's still a chance to not even get the next round (e.g., if there is another resume screening). How was your HR screener?

Just got an offer from one of the practices at McK few weeks ago. Based on my understanding, the case interview for specialist seems to be easier than for generalist (mine are purely profitability cases and one “curve ball” in the final round). However, we have technical experience interview in both rounds as well as standard PEIs. The online test was actually harder than my expectation though.

Also my title within cognizant might have been an associate but my resume mentions the designation for the client. Is this a reason for concern? Will they ask me to justify it ?
