McKinsey first round phone case with an alum - what should I expect?

I’m familiar with casing (in final rounds with a couple mbb/tier2) but never interviewed with McK.

McK is deploying alums to do interviews? Another indicator that the exit ops for their folks are not what they once were if these people are so desperate for the few bucks they get paid!

funny

LOL! Most of the alumni doing cases are in grad school or have their own businesses. They usually do it as an extra way to make money on the side.

I have first round phone case interview with them next week as well! interested in some insights too, following 😬

I passed! On to more prep for the final round.

Following. Have a first round next week too

how did it go OP?

Very easy quant, non profit case

I have stopped counting the number of recruiters who ghost after promising interviews and assurances of their ability to follow up. It's not hard to respond and say, "We went with another candidate."

I really want another shot at my old company. Thanks
