Hi everyone! I just had my first round with McKinsey and had a few questions about what typically happens next:
- How long does it usually take to hear back after first round interviews, whether it's a rejection or an invite to second round?
- What’s the typical time frame between first and second round interviews (a few days, a week, etc.)?
- How should I approach preparing for the second round differently from the first? For example, do partners tend to expect quicker responses or more "on-the-fly" thinking compared to first round interviewers?
I know things are relative and probably vary a lot between offices and candidates, but any insight into what’s most common or generally expected would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!
