McKinsey & Company McKinsey & Company I am interviewing for a specialist role (client-facing) and after coding/technical rounds, I am preparing for case rounds but started to think if they expect me to be as good as generalists at this? Do they really want me to be good at everything and be a 10x consultant? 😅

Currently a specialist at the firm and the expectations around structured problem solving and top-down communication are the same as any generalist in the firm. Additionally, you are expected to demonstrate a strong spike in technical problem solving (within your area of expertise).
Goodluck for your interviews OP!
