McKinsey & Company Had 2 interviews with McK, bombed the first one (didn't even get to the end of the case study), probably aced the second one.

This is the 1st round so it is pretty much over for me, right?

How long was this ? Typically they are super fast in getting the results out. My experience was that you don’t need to finish the case to ace it. I remember not finishing multiple cases in McKinsey and still got the offer. Best of luck !

I bombed 2/3 out of the 5 and still got hired 😂

Finishing the case or not may not have anything to do with you. There’s a ton of potential back up questions in the cases and a lot of this comes down to the interviewer’s time management.

Stop thinking about it now. Won’t change anything. Focus on what’s next.
Also for me my gut feeling always tells me the answer before I hear the results. If you feel you won’t pass it’s highly unlikely.

Just wait and see! You never know.

Thought I bombed the first two interviews on my superday but recovered really well in the last two so 🤷🏻‍♀️ all you need is one interviewer to advocate for you during decision making so you never know

Good clarification. The advocate might point out performance strengths you had which other interviewers might not witnessed or, better, will see elements of it in your interview with ones you though you bombed and shift their interpretation.

And in fairness, this works the other way too. I've seen feedback shift from slightly positive to a turndown because an interviewer notices underperformance which, when pointed out onto other generally positive interviewers, highlights elements of it in other interviews as well.

If this were two years ago I’d say you’re in trouble but we are hiring so much You should stay positive.
