McKinsey - Middle East. - Interview tips

Hi Guys,

I have an upcoming McK interview for Middle East offices. Just wanted to check, if McK asks Mkt sizing cases like BCG or are they only focussed on business situation cases?

Thanks!

Hey there,

McKinsey interviews are highly standardized across the globe and full market sizing is usually not part of the evaluation but could rather show up as a short exercise within the math part of the case.

If you want to know more about McKinsey interviews in the Middle East or anywhere else for that matter, check out both articles I wrote on the two elements of the interviews for PrepLounge:

McKinsey PEI interview: https://www.preplounge.com/en/mckinsey-pei

Cheers,

Florian

Hello,

At McKinsey market sizing is not given as a standalone question, but is sometimes incorporated as a short question into a case. It definitely comes up from time to time, so be sure to prepare to solve those kinds of questions.

Hi there,

While it's not particularly common you should absolutely prepare for market sizing (particularly it being embedded in teh case). You should learn market sizing - being prepared for all scenarios is critical to success!

Here is some additional information + practice for your market sizing:

Hi there,

McKinsey does ask market sizing, however not very often. How often they do so depends on the office.

I know 26 real questions McKinsey asked in Dubai and Doha, and in just one case the candidate was asked to do market sizing.

So overall it can definitely happen but it is not common in the Middle East.

Best,

Francesco
