McKinsey is not at all an exit, it's an entry into misery

why do you say that?

- smile, be lively and conversational
- exhibits and math are not just about providing an answer go beyond the answer
- never forget the prompt
- you should not be restricted to the information in the case

Something like that. Like I did a case about a bank going online, there was a graph that showed the client’s customers by age group.
I said “the client has a lot of customers in the older age group, honestly they are likely to have some trouble adopting the new technology the client may want to target their younger customers”

Especially for virtual interviewing, make sure you communicate in a clearly structured way. Start with the problem or recommendation (depending on where you are in the case). Then work your way down the tree level by level.

How many rounds of interviews/cases were there? I have a call with a recruiter coming up for an Experienced Hire BA position. I’m assuming this is just an initial screen.

A2 - I also heard back in 2 days, and had a call the next day - was very impressed with the efficiency.

A1 - assuming you get the interviews and want to run a few mock cases, let me know!
