Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the progress in the application process with McKinsey thus far!

While I don’t know what specifically you’d like to know about the final interview round, you can find everything on this topic here: How to succeed in the final interview round.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming final round McKinsey interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hey there,

Congrats on passing the first round!

95% of partner rounds are just as standardized as the first round. The reason why you read about freestyle partner experiences is that they deviate from what people expect, hence they post about it more frequently online, hence giving others the impression it is much more common.

Additionally, partner rounds are often perceived as more challenging, just because it's a partner sitting across the table rather than a more junior colleague. It is purely based on the impression and not on the content. :-)

If there are any deviations from the standard interviewer guidelines, expect them to be in the following realm:

  • Focus on one or two areas where you were perceived as not as strong in round one, which can be specific case questions or fit answers
  • Only doing a case, only doing fit instead of both
  • Doing two shorter cases in quick succession
  • Challenging your answers more
  • Not providing any time for you to think about the answer, making it more conversational

In any case, the most important thing is not to be startled by this and just keep working on the case or the fit in a calm manner. 

Continue with the prep you have done before and spend 80/20 on weaknesses/issues identified in the first round and your strengths.

All the best for your second round!

Cheers,

Florian

Congrats on passing the first round (I assume you did).

If you are looking for final round prep, think about how you want to stress test your abilities and expand your capabilities. 

You really want to build the confidence in your abilities to handle anything that the partners may throw to you.

All the best!

MBB interview ended 10 min early. I fumbled on the quant at times but was able to pull through. Any thoughts on if I can make it to R2?
