I completed my McKinsey practice case today and realize I need more time to prep. What’s a reasonable amount of time to ask my recruiter to push my interview out?

You can ask to push it out a month if you need it. Do it based on how long you need, not visuals.

They aren’t going to suddenly withdraw your interview offer if you need more time to prep.

Just share a good reason - personal or otherwise, and most recruiters are very happy to be flexible if it means a higher chance of success for the candidate.

how are you preparing, i received a referral for McK...TIA

Not sure if I am the best advice because I am currently a little stuck on progress but what really helped me in the beginning stages was 1) taking crafting cases free course, 2) using Rocketblocks for drills and 3) finding 2-3 strong case partners you can meet with routinely to mock case. Best of luck to you!!

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly. The two remaining in-laws were on thin ice with me prior due to years of drama, nagging, and disgusting display of wealth. I believe their demand of money and general assholish behavior drove in law to his death. I love my S.O. but I can’t deal with the drama anymore.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.

What’s the bar of passing the first round at McKinsey like? if I didn’t do well in the same part of a cases for both interviews (ie reading graphs for high level insights and implications) would that be even worse than having different performance across other areas (ie not doing well in A on case 1 but not doing well in B on case 2)?
