McKinsey & Company How do I prep for the game in first round interviews?

Also, I was told my first interview would be a 30 minute case over the phone. Does that sound right? I would've imagined it'd be over zoom or something. Seems difficult to do a case over the phone. McKinsey & Company

Is the first call with recruiter? If so they might ask you basic case to gauge whether you know fundamentals. If it's with a CSP (i.e. consultant) unlikely it will be over the phone.

Anyone deal with this before: I inherited a severely under developed team including a sr analyst who clearly was doing the bare minimum, if that. Over the last 6 months I have had to coach him and correct simple mistakes in his work and recently it got so bad that I told him he would receive a low rating in his evaluation. He lashed out, involved HR saying he doesn’t understand why, and now my review points out stuff that I would have let slide.

So now I have to live with the knowledge that someone named Young Gravy is out there

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.
