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

Is it bad manners or just a bad idea to go back to a recruiter if they got you a job that wound up being a bad fit?
For context, I don’t think they misled me. The job changed 3 weeks after I got hired, and got stuck in a role that’s just not a good fit. Gave it 6 months of honest effort and I’m ready to start job hunting.
I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.
