McKinsey Fish….I have been in consulting for 3 years and have a few years of HR experience before that. Had my interview with the recruiter yesterday and he gave me the options to start the 1st round of interview process in mid- December or I can push until January 2022. How much time would you recommend prepping for cases and PEI?

I’ve been prepping for MBB for months but I know I’m still not ready. I’m struggling with staying structured and with creative questions. I’m really frustrated because I feel like I’ve put in so much work but I’m not where I need to be to make it. I know if I interviewed today I wouldn’t make it through.
Any advice?

Last conversation with HR is mentioned here.

Accenture-more than 30 days

Accenture and Deloitte HR is not responding. Frequent interviews are scheduled and cancelled stating official reasons.
