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

Had my 2nd interview with the hiring manager this past Friday & sent a thank you shortly after. It's now Tuesday (for those who see this on another day). At the end of the interview he said they've had other people who were interested but only one other person besides me were they considering. Said he would talk to his team and possibly have me fly out to meet in person. How long should I wait to follow up without seeming pushy? Also welcome any other tips to separate me from other candidate.
