Slowing it down and coming across as more articulate / interactive vs speeding it up and come across as fast (but sometimes talk too much / make it hard for the interviewer to interject)? Are there certain parts of the case I can be quicker on vs others?

My opinion: pacing should be constant throughout. You should speak slow enough that the interviewer can process your words and fast enough that they don't fall asleep waiting for the next word. This gives the interviewer a chance to interject, you a chance to think while speaking, and prevents the interviewer from being thrown off when you shift to ludicrous mode.

When in doubt go slower. You give yourself more time to think, you show better communication skills, and most of all you don’t blurt out something. A big flag is if an interviewer has doubts about putting you in front of a client because of concerns that you speak before thinking.

The cases aren’t that long and if you’re well prepared you’ll finish early anyway without trying to rush.

Don’t over think it.

Be personable, be engaging, and where relevant - top down communication.

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?
