I have an interview with a McKinsey recruiter for a cyber role. Anyone have any insight into what I should expect from the very first round or what the interview process may look like as a whole? Coming from a non-MBB background..

Recruiter screens are a breeze, just talk about your experience high level. They’ll give you full info of what to expect through the rest of the interview process, but also doesn’t hurt to check out the Interviews tab on the career page, assuming this is a consulting role.
