McKinsey Interview prep : will the case depend on the interviewer personnel past experience ( specialist in a particular domain at McKinsey as per LinkedIn ) or it could be any case ?

In my experience first case was general, didn’t get industry specific until later in the process.

Later as in? I have interview with EM’s coming up, which is also considered as round 1 after initial phone case assessment round

Usually general.

The final round with partners may be slightly more domain focused because they may make their own case instead of pulling it out of the general case library. Second round interviews with EMs are likely from the general case library.

I find myself questioning basic politeness I’ve learned since a child. Wondering what everyone else thinks. I work with an associate. She’s great. When she does good work or something I’ve asked her to do, I, of course, say “thank you!” I don’t really expect a response. She always replies “you’re welcome!” Or some variation. And for some reason, that’s awkward. Is it just me? I know in normal manners, that is the right response. Why does it sit funny?
