Does anyone have advice for McKinsey final round interviews? I have a final round coming up (expert track - analyst level), but am having such a hard time with the cases! I’m really interested in McKinsey but am worried my case performance won’t cut it for the final round 😬

Case difficulty is more or less the same compared to your earlier rounds. If you have made it this far, I wouldn't do anything differently apart from incorporating any feedback you might have received from your earlier rounds.

I found my final round cases slightly harder ¯\_(ツ)_/ with that being said it’s not like a huge jump or anything. OP I would say find some case partners and really get cracking. What did your first round interviewers say?

Train with buddies, try to practice some estimation as some partners like them and make sure to practice PEI as much as you do cases, they are equally important.

What feedback did you get from your first round interviewers?

What type of expert?

Data science for marketing and sales!

My final round cases, I found, were no more difficult that my round 1 cases. Also, don’t let the partners phase you! They’re really nice, some just have intense exteriors.
Remember to be yourself! And bring your personality in!

Thanks! :) did you interview for general consulting or the expert path?

A bird in hand is worth two in the bush, right? Anyone experience a similar situation? Happy you pivoted?

Any HR from Accenture who can consider my profile for Qliksense developer (6years experience).

Worse part is if the profile is already in the system, it doesnot consider it for other jobs. I can see a lot of postings in job site but cannot apply in those.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
