Cold applied to McKinsey just for the hell of it. Got a call for a screening. Have no idea what to expect in the screen or overall interview process. Any tips/insights? (I’m now wishing I paid more attention to the MBB interview stuff in this app - I hear there’s a case? Haha 🤔)

Pretty sure the website walks you through the process. (Or maybe that’s BCG but will be very similar)

Study up, you got this!

Thanks!

Wish I knew someone at McKinsey that could provide some mentoring. Feel like people that apply there know someone there that can help them.
