Hi there! I have my final round interviews for McKinsey at the end of this month and just wondered if there are any recent perspectives for people who have done finals and how different are they to 1st round (eg: do they go “off-script” with the case, how much do they drill into the PEI vs. Round 1). Any insights would be appreciated!

They aren’t supposed to deviate but my experience is that they do sometimes bc it tends to be with partners. I interviewed 6 years ago so it may have changed.

Thank you!

Yes, they will drill into PEI little bit. It would just not be a direct story and that’s it. But not that different pattern or difficult as such. You should be good. All the best!

could you share a quick example of how they could drill into PEI? Just wanted to make sure I understand

For the case portion mine was a deviation. No Math, all conceptual thinking w partner

Interesting, thanks for your perspective! Did you find the deviations reasonable or did they through off on an unexpected tangent?
