Hey guys,
I just received email to do the game assessment for McKinsey for the graduate role in London, however I didn’t go to a target university or even a russel group uni in fact. My experience is limited to be honest with not much finance or consulting experience at all. Is there any point in doing the game assessment as I think I’ll be rejected regardless because of CV. Please let me know!
In all honesty, regardless of your university background. Give the test a try and see how you perform. It can be quite helpful to use as a practice test that can aid you in future aptitude tests you may encounter, from helping you get more comfortable with a testing environment to maybe even getting a shot at a first-round interview.
Hi there,
Do you want to get into consulting any time soon? The only downside to do it now is that if you get rejected, there could be a "cooling period" before you can try again. If you don't have a specific timeline that you'd like to break into consulting, then I think trying the test is a good option, for you to get a bit more flavor of what the test would be like, whether you'd like to solve those questions or not - which could be an indication whether you'd like consulting work.
Best,
Emily
