Can you guys share some insights on MCK R2 in-person interviews?

A little background …I wasn’t actively looking to switch jobs. I had applied almost a year ago, randomly got an assessment invite recently, and before I knew it, I was interviewing for the NYC office.

I cleared R1, and candidly, I went in with zero prep …not even one live case. This was my first case interview in almost three years (I had practiced a bit back in grad school but hadn’t touched casing since).

(Contd)

I was honestly surprised by how well it went. I stayed confident throughout, and my interviewer mentioned at the end that I had aced the case …definitely a pleasant surprise.

Now that I’m through to the next round, I want to prepare properly and make sure I’m ready.

Would love advice on R2, especially the in-person aspect. After three years of a fully virtual work setup, getting back into face-to-face interviews feels like a shift.

Any tips or experiences would be super helpful. Thanks!

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.
