My final round of interviews with McKinsey is on Friday. I made good progress, but I still feel unprepared.. or at least not meeting the bar, in my subjective opinion. What can I do to increase confidence and focus? Should I just wing it at my current project and try to practice with somebody as many times as I can? TIA

Don’t case the day of, id say get in good casing in the next two days and take thursday easier.

honestly this is harder than casing as there are no practices you can do… it’s probably too late to work on people skills but be sure to be a good communicator and storyteller + a sense of humor!!

A huge part of the interview is creative problem solving and demonstrated good social skills. Sleep is your friend. Whatever you do make sure you are well rested and as healthy as possible going into the interview.

How did it go? I'm sure you nailed it!

He took resume to HR actual and said I’d hear from them. Haven’t heard anything week or so later.

Haven’t texted VP much as I don’t want to be creeper but really interested. Not sure how to engage at this point. At some level it seemed like a home run.
