I have a McKinsey preassessment call later this week to see if I move on to around 1 interviews. Any tips on what to prepare for outside of normal case prep? Call is only 30 minutes.

Had this case a month ago. It is an actual case with a McKinsey alumni (at least mine was). Start to end. Expect to pick up the phone and get right into it.

If I recall correctly. I don't remember the specifics of the process, but pretty sure the pre in person interview phone case was more of a check the box than anything else

Is this just an HR screen or are you doing a case?

I just came here to ask this exact thing.

M1 I'm not OP but mine is just an HR screen - presumably not a case but I also do not fully know what to expect

I've already done the HR screening, should be an actual case.

What position is this for?

K1, in my HR screening, it was very similar to all other HR screenings. They tell you about the company, position, and ask for your background. Pretty typical.

Got it OP. Will likely be a very straightforward case. Just make sure you're well structured. IIRC, the bar for this case is relatively low, they mostly just want to make sure they're not wasting interviewers time by bringing you in.

Got it. Thanks!!!

What's IIRC in this context?

If I recall correctly = IIRC

Incoming junior-level consultant wants to know what is “billable hour”.
Once in a while I see discussions around billable hours, but I don’t know how that works. After googling, it appears to me that billable hour only matters to me if my salary is paid by hours. Since I will receive a fixed annual salary, does this mean that I don’t need to worry about the concept of billable hours?
A related questions: generally speaking, is the bonus related to the hours that I worked?
Thanks!
