I'd suggest not calling the firm by its correct name, McKinsey, and not McKinsey's during your interview for a start.

Applying through website is definitely one option and your resume will get screened and passed on to the recruiting team. Much easier to do through network - having me submit your resume to look at will ensure it gets read properly, and depending how high you network and how well the person knows you, you can be guaranteed an interview.

Do five or six, don't exhaust yourself. Any of the big bschool case books are good. And watch the videos on the McKinsey website.

Victor Cheng Look Over My Shoulder is a good investment. Be aware too, as far as I understand, McK uses an interviewer-led case approach

D1- Just curious Interviewer-led case is the ones where interviewer keeps giving you more information as you progress in right direction

BCG1 - how does experienced hire process work for you all in terms of getting call. Networking? Or applying through website. Folks at McK told me that no point applying at website.

Referral is best at McK. But website is managed

True true @BCG1

BCG1- i know it's hard to connect directly through fishbowl. That's why, I just created an email to network with you if you are ok with it. Please drop a hello email at- consultingnetwork111@gmail.com. This will safeguard our identities from being public. Would love to get help and more knowledge from a fellow fish bowler

Thanks ..🙂

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews. I called the HR after getting their point of contact mail and I asked if it's possible to switch. They said I'm already tagged to a project and that they'll check from their end if it can be done.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.

Hello people, how common is a Amazon to PWC move ?

TC $135k Base PWC -$81$ + Bonuses ( 50k$)

Looking for managerial skills which the PWC role avails, and L6 promo doesn’t seem to be happening soon in current role. I’m also mentally stretched. I hear WLB in PWC is just as busy but can anyone confirm if this move makes any sense. Google Amazon
