Do Google interviewers with ex-MBB backgrounds typically ask more GCA or case type questions for S&O elle? Final round interviewers were both fairly senior at McKinsey.

Technically all roles will have interviewers test all 4 attributes. I had S&O interviews with ex-MBB and did get "case" questions but these were more of a mix of role related knowledge and case type questions for GCA more so than the pure case interviews you're used to seeing in consulting. You likely won't have a random question like a furniture supply chain case, as much as a "case" relevant to something they're working on or a problem they're solving for. Still want to use a framework to structure thinking, etc. But I didn't get exhibits or any unrelated case prompts like you'd have for mbb interviews

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!
