Got a case interview with McKinsey coming up. Anyone got any tips/prep strategies?
At the moment just absolutely soaking up all I can read online and videos on YouTube.

Books: Cosentino's Case in Point, Barbara Minto's Pyramid Principle

Math: Rocket Blocks (keep in mind that this is math for consulting, will use a lot of "approximately" and "assumption"

Structure: be MECE AF

PEI: have 2-3 stories of each dimension, if your interviewer are not able to extract what he/she wants, they will ask for another story of the same dimension

Case: come clean, ask clarifying questions, show interest for the Client's business, always confirm what does the client wants. Sometimes they will say: "the revenue is down". Ok, but the client wants to increase profit, increase revenue or save in costs?

Also, always asks "how much", will help you down the case. "The Client's revenue is down, what should we be focusing on?" - "do we have any data on how much, and comparing to what year?". This should be asked during clarifying questions.

I'm talking what I learned during my prep, did my final round and I'm waiting for the results. Not a currently employee. Good luck!

Question: can an employer legally withhold your personal possessions after you leave the firm? I left my old firm recently and they were not happy about me joining another consultancy. They are withholding any belongings that I left in the office and have ignored my emails asking to arrange a pick up or delivery of my personal items. I understand the covid19 environment impacts the situation, but anything I can do to get my stuff back? Any help would be appreciated. I’m based in NYC!
