I am mainly asking with regard to McKinsey-style cases, but perhaps this could apply to the candidate-led format as well.
Despite being told that I quickly solved the portions of the case I was given, there were still other sections and analyses remaining that we did not get to. Since the interviewer is primarily leading McKinsey-syle cases, is it my fault if we don't finish the entire thing and will I be penalized for not getting all the way through?
Hi Bruno, I suspect this particular cases I'm referring to were just longer than what would be normally given in a case interview. I've noticed that many of the prep lounge cases have one or two optional or extra sections attached, which I assume are there for extra practice and would not be included in a normal 30-35 min case interview.
