What role? The website lays out masses on culture and expectation. We’re looking in general for intrinsic problem solving expertise, and the ability to communicate and positively influence the world around you.

Yes it is. Lots again on our website, including coaching guide and practice tests.

If you have niche expertise we may be interested in that as well.

Otherwise be prepared to talk about your experience as per other interviews. Specifically with examples of where you have had real personal impact beyond “just doing work”.

Thanks M2. The first call was good but HR said right now they are recruiting for 2019 so I have sometime to start the process. Not sure why I can’t start before that.

Actually I don’t know. I networked and a partner sent my resume to a recruiter. And recruiter set up call to talk about my experience. Didn’t give any more details.

Do you know if PST is still a thing?

I interviewed w mckinsey before. 2 case interviews over 2 phone interviews. Then 2 in office interviews with more cases.

Thanks M1 and EY1.
@EY1- cases over phone? Need to start preparing lol. Did you get an offer?

So I assume the the recruiter call is just to set up the following interviews?

Yeah start practicing cases now. First call probably less “interview-y” and more about getting to know you

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
