My friend just interviewed with McKinsey at LBS and apparently her interviewer took over the case after 2 minutes and started solving it himself 😂

She’s a bit confused if this is normal. Comments?

This happened with me at Accenture and I don’t think he realized he did it. Seemed like he was just used to a collaborative discussion. Either way, I appreciated it and got the job! Was new to consulting but had other experience so case studies were new to me

I’d say probably a bad thing because the interviewer has no basis to pass them. Maybe they were so bad the interviewer thought “f*ck it, I’m just going to do this myself”

Same, had one interviewer do the same thing (in last rouns though, so less focus on case anyway), got hired! 😄

I got a call for a Java position. I told them I do not develop in Java. I do JavaScript with React. He says “oh yes, that is what the client wants”. So I sent my resume. When he sent the confirmation email it stated Angular/Java. I told him that I don’t have much Java skills. He then sent this (pic) as a response. 🤔🤔🤔
When I spoke to the client she had no idea why the recruiter added angular react as it was just a Java developer position, Completely wasted so much time

Does anyone have recommendations for classes or trainings that helped you gain greater expertise in reviewing and negotiating commercial contracts, particularly sophisticated SaaS agreements? I came in-house with a biglaw litigation background and because of this feel lacking in competency compared to friends who came in house with transactional experience. Ditto to corporate governance. Would love some recommendations so that I can brush up in these areas and feel less like an imposter.
