I have passed the screening for BCG and McK, and will perform Casey and Imbellus respectively this weekend. Applied with 8 YOE in petrochemical industry. My question is about case interview preparation, I have been mainly practicing candidate-led style so far and don't have much info about interviewer-led approach that McK utilizes. Considering short time-frame to prepare, which strategy should I follow? Are these styles very different?

They are a little different, but I think it’s easier to learn interviewer led if you already know candidate led. Do the practice cases on McKinsey’s website, I think they are the best practice cases out there for McKinsey.

Fully agree with C1. If you can only dive into one, do BCG style. McK is much easier to pickup
