Hi there,

I highly highly recommend you get reading up on McKinsey Insights “Risk and Resilience" page.

Click into each of these below topics to build up your knowledge and see what types of questions may be asked.

For example (taken/modified straight from the “Cedit Risk” subcategory):

  • How do we define a client's risk appetite for large-corporate credit underwriting
  • How would you devise decision criteria to yield profitable growth in a client’s consumer-lending business
  • How can you transform portfolio-level credit guidelines into actionable loan policy
  • How would you optimize the design of a bank’s credit-portfolio-management unit

Hey there,

In addition to Ian's answer, focus on the approach rather than the content. I have written a detailed article on McKinsey interviews that goes into more details about that: https://www.preplounge.com/en/mckinsey-interview

Reach out if you have any questions!

Cheers,

Florian
