McKinsey & Company Just did my coaching call before my Mck interview next week and it was an insanely easy/straight forward profitablity case with simple numbers. I'm assuming they give easy cases during this call right? And my actual phone interview first round is harder? Or the final superday of interviews are harder?

Thanks! Just trying to gauge what prep I need to do this next week. McKinsey & Company

Hmm it’s not gonna be insanely easy for the first round I can assure you

I figured. Just don't see the point in the buddy/coach if they give you a case miles easier than the real deal

Some cases have easier numbers, some not. It’s a bell curve

Yes but you cannot makes any mistakes for this reason to get to next round.

Hi OP - Also had a similar experience during my coaching call. What was it like for the actual case assessment? Was it more difficult?

The case library has a wide range of math qs, some are easy some are hard.

I have given interview for CGI. One round of technical interview took place . There is no further communication from H.R.

Applied here and interviewed (presumably to the final round) and didn’t end up with an offer, I think due to the specific experience I’ve had so far. I want to definitely try again in the future when I get more experience. Is there a specific grace period that is ideal? Would this look bad if I apply again since I’ve been rejected before?
