Question regarding Mckinsey & Company interview process - I had my initial phone screen and was invited to take the SQL test (passed) I was told the interview process from my recruiter. They invited me to to do a coffee chat with a someone in the role (stated informal coffee chat). Haven’t seen this in any post where this is a part of the process so just wanted insight. Interviewing for Solution Delivery Specialist. Thanks!

What is a SQL test?

They are not interviewing for a consultant role, its something to do with software/analytics!

It’s for you to ask questions and learn about the job in detail from someone who could become your coworker - honestly a really nice opportunity. Just be respectful and friendly.

Good luck OP

Thank you for the reply, very helpful!

Hey, when did you take the test?
I took mine last week and passed. When did the recruiter reached out?

The recruiter reached out to me early December. Set up the phone screen mid December and I had until the end of year to take the test (took it 12/30). She contacted me back on the 3rd
