Have an upcoming interview with McKinsey in a few weeks. Strategy& contacted me for first round next week. Not sure if I should postpone Strategy& and focus on McKinsey now. Either way I’m not prepared enough yet and next week seems too soon, any thoughts on how I should go about this?

I'd use S& to have a hands-on practice for McKinsey.

Tbh I did this, but used RB and Kearney for MBB + Oliver.

The prep for both the interviews are very similar. If you don’t think you’re going to be prepared next week, try to push it out a little bit. And both of these are great firms so put in your best foot forward into both!!

Yeah that’s true, thanks! I’ll see how it goes in a few days and maybe push it out a few days.

The prep and interviews are similar. You should do both.

General Question I started tuition reimbursement last year in August. I since have an interview with another job that is paying a lot more. You know how you apply to something not really thinking that job would call back? Should I get an offer, what do I do about tuition Reimbursement? Do they send a check and tell me to pay it? Do they take it out of my 401k? I know a lot of people will say I never shouldve applied but I didn't think too much about actually get a call back when I applied.

Does anyone have experience interviewing with Deloitte Internal Services? I had my final interview a week and a half ago, and received positive feedback throughout. The hiring manager had positive things to say and mentioned they hoped to make a decision by the end of last week. It’s now Friday the week after. The role still shows as “Interviews in Process.” We did discuss potential start dates, but no salary. Any experience with receiving offers for an internal services role? Is this common?
