Certain I just failed a McKinsey final interview with the most complex case I’ve seen, comparing with practice cases. Profitability case with double business model (think: airport = airline charges + airside rents). Has anyone else encountered this?

You mean a case where the client has multiple revenue streams? Those are fairly commonplace.

Feel free to DM since you’re not supposed to divulge case details.

That's the whole point. The second profitability hits, people pull the "revenues and costs" framework. You were supposed to build something custom. This forces your hand a bit to.

I think I read online about a retired McKinsey case sounding awfully similar to this - scandanavian air but that was more on load factor optimization

I have a similar profitability one where there were two angles to look at it - three business lines / products and two sales channel (digital, in person). It was basically a 3x2 matrix but then needed to overlay rev and cost. The way I went about it was to kind of treat all the options as separate product lines and evaluate the revenue (and cost) of each. So structure was Revenue -> 5 products / sales channels -> vol and price within each…repeat for cost…then give reasons to focus on a few (e.g cost for digital is probably not the priority)

What role and area of the US?

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
