Bain & Company I’m currently prepping for Bain & Company and McKinsey & Company interviews scheduled in the next 2 months. For those that interviewed with both, how would you suggest I tailor my preparation for each one? I understand McKinsey is interviewer led while Bain is the opposite. But other than that, is there anything else I should work on separately for each one?

I feel like it's a little insulting for Sr. Level AD. Also, if it's for a place called MOD World Wide, say no and never look back. 👍
Fuck that no
Never had that asked if me in 12+ years. Sounds like a small inexperienced shop. I'd steer clear.
As long as it's not overly time intensive, I'd say it's fair. Resumes can only indicate so much.
I regularly require engineers to submit code samples or solve a programming problem. I also require an exemplar portfolio and art test for artists.
An established place wouldnt ever ask for extra work. Your portfolio, intertview, and past work experiences should already be enough
For developers they ask for sample code and give homework all the time. A lot of people put shit in their book that they had nothing to do with. I'd supply them with something as long as they give you time to do so.
I've done it as part of the process. I've also been on the interviewing end and given assignments.
@digitas1 wait tell me about MOD I had an interview there a while ago
Respond with a clever idea on a fag packet / napkin. If they can't spot a good idea in its early stages from an AD when it's shown to them then it's not worth doing the job.
@digitas2 I was in the MOD cult for 6 grueling months, I literally cannot begin to explain the misfortune for sake of my blood pressure. I've never been so bitter about anything in my whole life, they were absolute monsters to everyone enslaved. Check out their Glassdoor. Anything that's not 1 star was written by the owners. Idk how they haven't fully tanked yet.
I did three weeks at MOD and decided I'd rather flip burgers than deal with that train wreck.
Oooof. Okay. Sounds like I dodged a bullet. Thanks guys.
@op if it's < 2 hours of your time I wouldn't sweat it.
