Got a campus round interview with McKinsey, but the recruiter didn’t specify which location and offered to connect for next steps. What should I expect in the phone call? Is it a round 0 interview or will this be nonevaluative? I specified 3 offices on my app (like everyone else) but said “open to all offices” in the post survey. Could anyone shed light on this yr’s process a bit? I thought that our first round interview location would be defaulted to whatever we put first on the app, but it se

First round (in the US, don’t know for other geographies) is independent of location preference. Either you meet the bar in first round or you don’t. If you do, then your preferences are used to decide which office will host your final rounds. Before covid, first round was on campus or in closest office. Now it’s virtual so your interviewers may be from any office. Doesn’t matter; bar is the same everywhere.
Your call should be non evaluative. Be ready with quick pitch of your resume if recruiter doesn’t know you, explain your office preferences (don’t sound desperate...but if you are flexible give some criteria, like size or industries, that are most important). Ask a few questions if you have them.

Thank you!!

Seems like multiple offices offered to interview. Am I constrained by offices on the form aka top 3 I put? Should I have a decision before the call or is it more of an informational chat and I’d have some time after?

Got an Imbellus assessment but no email after. Did you do that already? Not sure if everyone gets it

Same with me. I go to a non-target so maybe that’s why
