I’m burnt out from case preparation. I have McK and Bain interviews coming up and I’ve lost all motivation and I can feel my performance declining. I practice regularly with MBB consultants and they all say I’m good but I feel like I’m getting exhausted. Any tips on how I can stay motivated for the next 4 Weeks?

Take a break. Mental health is important. Maybe do prep every other day instead of every day

Echoing McK1 - if possible, don’t practice for like 3-5 days and focus on PEI instead since that accounts for 50% of the McK interview and a sizeable portion of the Bain one too.

Once you get down casing just relax and keep your mind fresh. Two weeks before I significantly ramped down case prep and only did minor things. Keep your mind fresh and prepared for casing!

I'm still waiting for invites here. Hit me up if you want to talk PEI

The thing is, I don’t think there’s anything new I can learn or improve. I’ve pretty much mastered the process and case formats. But I’m just a bit reluctant to stop casing as this is my second time interviewing.

Thanks

I will be interviewing as well. Let me know if you want to collaborate

Take a long 5-7 days break and then continue doing a case every other day, 4 weeks is a long time and if MBB consultants are saying you're good, a small break is not going to hurt you.

Where do you find these MBB consultants to case with? Are you paying them?

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?
