I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (New York, NY) in Sept 2023
Interview
15 minute behavioral interview(the regular interviewing questions to review your teamwork, communication, dealing with uncertain or rapid change situations and dealing with setbacks. some examples can be found on their website) and 30 minute casing interview (practice casing using Google, YouTube, chat gpt, case with friends interviewing for the same role in any MBB firm)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time where you had to face an uncertain change in your life
I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Interview was a straightforward case study, and a McKinsey-specific Personal Experience Interview. This was difficult but I was able to prepare, so it was not too challenging after preparation. The team was very kind throughout the process and I was able to request information on the interview style ahead of time.

Question 1
Tell me about a challenge and how you overcame it?
Passed the online test and then had a round 1 interview. I got a rejection call shortly after. Interviews were a mix of behavioral and technical. Difficulty depends on difficulty of case.
I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (New York, NY)
Interview
Positive experience until the super day. The scheduling was quite long and they gave me a month's gap between my previous round and my final round. But overall everyone speaks eloquently and thinks logically. My interactions with senior partners are also very positive; they ask insightful, probing questions and were encouraging throughout the interview. I thought I smashed it, but one of the partners called me the other day and rejected me.
