McKinsey Recruiter reached out to me and wants to “connect for 30-45 min” any idea if this will truest be a casual chat about role and my high level experiences or if I should be prepared to be interviewed and grilled?

How did they reach out? Via LinkedIn? Do you have your profile set to, “open to opportunities”?
