Is everyone on a date, I’m still working 🥹
McKinsey & Company Hi everyone. Hope all is well.
Recently took the McKinsey & Company game (not sure if I have an interview yet but preparing nonetheless). It’s an entry level business analyst position and an entry level digital position and was wondering if anyone wanted to case prep with me. I’m willing to work on anyones time zone. (I’m located in Sydney, Australia).

I would highlight perseverance, motivation, the ability to ask for help (after trying to work through it on your own), good communication, and healthy coping mechanisms.
I usually say “I face challenges head on. I follow best practices, but if those aren’t working for that particular issue, I will try something else. If I am still struggling, I reach out to a more experienced peer for advice. As I’m working through the challenge, I keep my supervisor up to date on my progress so that they are aware and can help as needed. If I feel overwhelmed by the challenge, I’ll take a walk to clear my mind. I’ve found that this approach has helped me with challenges I’ve faced in the past”
If you feel comfortable, you can include a tight example… but be careful to not get into the weeds of the details of the challenge.
Thanks this is very helpful
Depends on the company and role I’m interviewing for. Feels like an opportunity to provide an example of how you demonstrate company values, or a key skill if “challenges” are common in the role.
