Mckinsey first round

Question

Hi everyone,

I did my first interview of the first round at McKinsey and was not great.
Do you think they will allow me to do the second interview of the first round next week or can I be altra du excluded After this first step?

Thank you

Answer 1

Hi there,

I think this is an interesting question that may be relevant for many people. I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:

Yes, either way, you may still do the other first-round interview before they make an intermediate decision.
If you feel you did poorly in the first first-round interview, I would highly advise you to work on the weak spots as best as you can in order to increase your chances of passing the first interview round.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to address your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Yes, they will let you complete the first round if they already mentioned there are two interviews as part of it.

Good luck!

Francesco

Answer 3

Yes, you will be able to finish the 1st round.

That said, if you did poorly in the 1st, you are going to have to shine in the second.

Please get a coach.

The offer is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. If a coach can get you even an 10% higher chance of getting the offer that's worth tens of thousands of dollars.

If you did really poorly in the 1st and only have a week, you need a personal trainer to get in shape in time!

Answer 4

A first round has two interviews. They scheduled two interviews. You will have two interviews.
