Does McKinsey do market sizing

Hey there,

-----

UPDATE

I have written a detailed insider perspective on the McKinsey case interview here: https://www.preplounge.com/en/mckinsey-interview

-----

For McKinsey, market sizing is only relevant as part of a case but will not be the whole case. Every McKinsey case interview consists of 3 question types

1. Structure
2. Chart
3. Math

If market sizing is requested it will be the math question of the case and is more straightforward and less time consuming since you only have around 5-7 minutes for each question.

Cheers,

Hi there,

McKinsey does have market sizing – I helped a few candidates who got them. How frequently they appear depends on the country. Having said that, in general they are not common.

Hi there,

Yes it does occur! However, as Florian noted, they tend to be "short and sharp" and as part of a larger case. Of course, this would generally be tied more to a market entry/product launch or an acquisition

Hi, I confirm McK assesses candidates with market sizing: The frequency depends on the country, oftentimes they are pretty frequent (30%+ of the interviews)

Best,
