McKinsey & Company Have been given the opportunity to interview for McKinsey & Company as a BA and doubting my abilities after seeing how difficult the case interviews can be. Could anyone provide any insight into their experience or resources to leverage? TIA!!

Look, I felt the same way at all MBBs but after doing it for a couple of years you realize is most hard and i interviewed recently unprepared and got the offer.

Haha that’s amazing congratulations!!

You got this! I transitioned over recently as well. Use case in point to start (but don’t necessarily memorize bc those are too cookie cutter examples imo). Crafting cases was a life saver. Practice and keep at it, you’re going to be better faster than you know it!

Thank you for that information! How much time did you prepare for before doing the initial
case interview?

Use all the free resources available, IMO don’t need to pay for any course/coaching. Plenty of example case walkthroughs on YouTube as well. You can rent from library or buy a few books on Amazon. Attend all the case coaching sessions that McK provides and you will find case partners to practice live. Google B-School names + case prep and you will their PDFs with so many cases/solutions come up. Good luck to you!

Last week I had an interview with Infosys, it didn't go well as per my expectations but i was able to answer most of the questions asked by the panel and they said I will get the feedback from HR team but it's been more than one week and I didn't get any update on this. Yesterday I also wrote an email to the HR who scheduled the interview but still no update.

Should I consider that I am not being selected?

I am so anxious right now! Just got a job offer 2 weeks ago and still waiting on the written offer letter. I asked for an update and the recruiter reached out 2 days ago letting me know that they had some final requirements that should be approved that day so they can send the offer letter out. It’s been 2 days. My question is can I message the recruiter for an update? Will that be too annoying?

Morning all. I am looking for a favour/solid advice. I've been in the interview process for a dream role over the past month or so and just found out I didn't get the job after final round 🙃.

Unfortunately this isn't the first time this has happened during the past year searching. Looking for a SC level role within healthcare/public sector consulting firm. I know the job scene is a bit miserable currently but if anyone in the bowl is aware of a role I would love to have a chat.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
