No and no

Good one might be case dependent. My current case is being pretty stingy in a way 🥲

No hard limit on food but they ask that you be reasonable lol

More seriously - yes food budgets are pretty fungible while traveling. Especially team dinners, but even just solo dinners, I've easily spent >$300 in a day and nobody batted an eye. NYC room service is expensive!

In terms of Uber - if you leave before 7 am or after 8 pm, yes, you can Uber to (and from) the office. The evening option tends to be more common than the morning one

Wtf? I never expected McK to be that stingy with food expense. May as well make it per diem then

I expense Uber to the office in my home city !

Is this only after a certain time in the evening?

Are you allowed to expense an uber into the office in the morning?

Uber policy is pretty liberal

Anyone going into final round that wants to do run some cases?

Have BCG final round interviews this Friday. 2 45 Minute sessions back to back (all the slots were set up this way). Do you usually get a minute or two in between the calls? I imagine I’m going to need a moment to recenter myself after the pressure of a case interview, maybe run to the bathroom.

Also any last minute advice is greatly appreciated :)

Hi MBB Software Engineer fishes,

I recently applied for a position in one of McKinsey’s recently acquired firm for Senior Software Engineer (Team Lead).

The interview process is so damn easy - A medium level Hackerrank test, interview with company CTO and then behavioural round with a McKinsey Director and offer extended.

Wondering if this is a red flag.
