Hi! For McK interviews what’s the amount of time you can take to think? I’ve heard for BCG 1.5-2 mins for structuring and 0.5 - 1 mins for brainstorming, exhibits, math structure is the sweet spot. And I’ve heard that McKinsey prefers you spend more time on a question to get it right (even at the expense of not finishing the case) - can anyone please confirm and offer any tips. TIA!

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!
I've had 2 rounds of interviews at Google (UK) for a non-tech role in Platforms & Ecosystems (L4/L5). Recruiter told me that I've been selected for the final rounds (GCA + Leadership Interview). From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
Thx
Thanks in advance!

In one interview today with Kundyl. Their expectation is to be available oncall 24*7... With work from office.

They literally got offended and stared at me for asking about WLB...

Seems companies are not learning, even after the great resignations.. the big names... Like TCS, ibm.. are not doing any changes to their work culture and ethics to improve WLB.

Hey guys,

Apologies if this is repetitive, but here for some inspiration stories… I prepped hard for the first (phone interview) McK 30-min evaluative case study (Digital Associate role) but failed it cause I couldn’t calm my nerves… is it realistic to hope that with more hard work, I can at least make it to the final rounds next time round? Any tips to not be anxious for a phone interview?

What can you do if you’re getting interviewed by the same person who didn’t choose you in the first place?
Context: I applied for a position a while back and got interviewed, but didn’t go to the next round. I found the same position open again a month later at a different location and applied. Almost immediately, I was called for an interview, but with the same interviewer. What does this mean? Is this going to get awkward?

Hi folks!

Currently interviewing with Mastercard data and services for the consultant role.
Wanted to enquire about the travel opportunities in this role, be it within India or outside. I personally enjoy travelling and have travelled quite a bit during my consultant stint previously. However, not sure of what the norm is within Mastercard.

Thanks!

Going into another week, make sure you're taking time to take care of yourself and congratulate yourself for making it in an industry that was never ever meant for us. Just the fact that you're here is an inspiration to those that will come after you!

McK 🐠 can you work in PEPI practice in any office? Anyone in PEPI in the Midwest offices willing to chat? I’m currently in a T2 firm PE practice.

Is the MBB name really worth it over Big4, T2, Boutiques in terms of exit opps?

Would love to hear from experienced hires who have insight into both types of exits (MBB vs other) to better comp and wlb (tech is ideal but any industry works).

I know type of case work factors heavily into opportunities but how much does the MBB name really open? Is that name recognition worth leveling down to grind for another few years?

How bad is it to sound shaky during the case interview? I got everything right and nailed the math but I feel like I sounded like I was about to cry even though I was confident 🤦🏻‍♀️
