Hi there,

Unfortunately, we don't really know - because this is your version of events!

That said, based on what you've said, if you did what you said, then you've done well and stand a good chance for next round!

Love your two situation/case points. Anything can happen.

Oftentimes my candidates get frustrated when/if I interrupt them mid-case and if I give them a case they don't except (atypical) - but that's exactly what we should be preparing for!

Nice job keeping composure…continue to not try to predict things and continue to stay agile/adaptable in each interview :)

Hi there,

Sounds like a ’typical atypical’ interview, which is common among Partners. That being said, evaluation follows the same principle.

The case doesn’t surprise me and neither the interruptions and focus on hypotheses. As for how you handled yourself, it sound like you did well! 

These changes in style sometimes throw people off. Also, when you’re used to the classic frameworking, you might not know how to form hypotheses (particularly important at McKinsey).

We won’t know for sure until the call comes but keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Hi there not sure where you got this from, but final rounds look for the same as prior rounds, just the style of partners conducting interviews may be different. Fingers crossed for you! Best, freddy 

Hi!

It sounds like it went pretty well and in line with what one can expect from a senior interviewer. 

Hope you get good news from them rather soon!

Good luck!
Cristian

I have no idea. The partner is testing your analytical capability (and communication) and what is you are describing is the process not the content.

As far as the process goes, all of that is normal, there's nothing unusual to it. So no concerns on that side. But what is critical is the content.
