McKinsey & Company I'm going through the process for a lead data scientist role at McKinsey & Company / QuantumBlack. My recruiter says that the case study will be related to data science but there's isn't an awful lot to work with online. Is it going to be same as the case interview for generalist roles? Any advice from someone who's gone through the process or works in the firm would be really helpful!

It’s not the same as the generalist interview. Brush up on your ds concepts might involve some hands on work as well

I am not exactly close to the faang interviews but it should be closer to faang than traditional consulting.
