Hello Everyone. I have received an interview invitation from McKinsey, and I am absolutely frightened, because I did not think I would come this far. Can someone give me some tipps, and share their individual experiences with me. I think it would help me a bit to hear the stories of others. Thank You.

The main thing to do now is case, case, case. Find someone at your school, maybe consulting club, or find someone online. There are a few chat groups dedicated for people who need case interview partners. You'll want to do 10-20 cases at least, depending on how quickly you pick it up.

This!

Crafting cases course, strategy simplified podcasts and prepare well you PEIs. Take as much time as you need, no problem at all if you need to re-schedule.

Note down all the learnings from each case you made, difficulties etc. to track your progress.

And most important for me. Be confident in yourself. All cases are different and you will not nail them all, but as long as you have a good understanding on how to do the framework and set the math and conclusions, you will be good to go.

Good luck!

Thank you for your kind comments. Let’s ace this! :)

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.
