Hello everyone, i am applying for
consulting internships and i see a lot
of people stressing and doing 20-30
preps. I did watch some videos and
did 1-2 prep cases at McKinsey
website and found it relatively easier.
Should I be worried or am i missing
something?

Maybe you’re just naturally gifted. But the cases online are not the same as a real case interview. And a McK interview is easier than an interviewee-led case.

Im interviewing for an internal promotion at my current employer. I’ve previously expressed a lot of interest in this specific role and it’s well known throughout my division my interest. Even though I’ve conducted informational interviews before now to get a feel of the role, now that I’m going through the full interview process, it doesn’t seem like what I want to do any more. I’m considering withdrawing my application, but I’m afraid of the optics and future career at this company. Thoughts?

Did a first interview with hr rep, went very well. she set up the hiring manager meeting for a few days later. Met with the manager. Another great conversation, went over time and was told I’d hear back about panel set up. Following day I get a request from hr rep to “continue the conversation” with manager. This is set up Tuesday.
Why do you think the manager wants to meet again? Good? Bad? I felt great about the interview when we ended.
