Overthinking is the best strategy

It depends how good you are. But hey, I didn’t even get to case so you’re on the right track! Good luck kid

No. And it actually is around 24 hours, our recruiting team is pretty snappy.

I was told it was an assessment and if I passed then I’d go into the in-person interview

No danger in following up. Being sincerely interested in how you did is a good thing. Just don’t act all entitled and seem PO’d that they didn’t immediately call you.

24 hours

Thanks EY Does McKinsey ever not provide a response? In other words, if I haven’t heard back within a few days then I shouldn’t expect to.,..

Unless you’re talking about the freebie training case call - that one is just practice for you.

Thanks!! It’s been more than 24 hours!

I’m referring to the case assessment telephone interview with an alum

Hmm.. a lot of folks are out this week, maybe follow up on Monday then

Oh that.. isn’t that just the training one?

I had strep and flopped that one, I don’t think it’s a big deal

But yeah, things might have changed.. try following up Monday

I thought I flopped too. I just did the best and was proud that I pursued it. The case interview is a bit daunting for non business majors

consultant OP - were you interviewing for an experienced hire role? The Alumni telephone case is a pre-screen, usually for experienced hires.

Yes M2 - you’re right on 👍 - I am interviewing for an experienced hire slot. HR referred to it as a telephone assessment case interview. I had gone through the group case workshop as well as phone case coaching

Usually, you should hear back in 24 hours. Considering it was a holiday week - if you don’t hear back by Monday a quick follow up email couldn’t hurt

At what point do you draw the line on WLB? Working insane hours on a long/term project with what feels like no end in sight. It’s not sustainable but clearly expected. Could you get fired for drawing lines in the sand and saying (example) “come 8:30 every night I’m logging off”. That’s a 65 hour work week as-is but I currently am up until midnight working consistently. For context I’ve been rated as a strong performer consistently and am not new to the job so it’s not a lack of understanding.
