Got an interview with Mckinsey HR recruiter but was told to block off 30-45 minutes. Is this more than the normal HR screening type questions (do you need a visa, etc.)?

Sounds like a hiring + promotion call

McKinsey is recruiting? I know BCG froze hiring

Yes still hiring actively

Yeah sounds right

I’ve seen these types of questions answered via email these days. I would expect this to be a more straightforward type of behavioral interview

They will do most of the talking, explaining the role and the interview process. (That was my experience).
