I think get there 15 minutes before so you can get in the building, to the floor and check in. Then you’re only sitting in the reception area for 5-10 mins.

This is the right answer. Any earlier is awkward for you and the firm

I’m a bit paranoid so I try to be within a 1-2 block radius about 30 minutes before the interview. I will walk into the building 15 minutes before.

Like the airport, arrive 2-3 hours before your scheduled boarding/ interview time

30 minutes prior. That way you can visit the bathroom twice, if needed, in the reception area.

Hello! Does any one have any insight/advice for a McKinsey interview? I have a call with a McK recruiter next week to discuss my background, which will hopefully lead to official interviews. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I’m new to exploring the mgmt consulting world.

Currently in the final stages of the interviewing process for a "non-partnership track attorney" position at a top-ranked big law firm. I graduated from law school in 2019, and my eventual goal would be to work as an Associate on the partnership track at a medium-sized firm. Will this position "stain" my resume compared to staying in my current position as an attorney for an SRO?

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school
