Hello all,
I would like to know the time available to complete the case when interviewing at Mckinsey.
I guess it is something between 30 and 45 minutes, considering the questions that the interviewer will ask (interviewer-led style).
Thanks

Hey there,
This depends mostly on your performance and how much more the interviewer wants to see:
Of course, there are also other factors such as how long the PEI portion took, etc.

Hello Andrea, thanks for giving the opportunity to help you!
The typical McKinsey interview timeline is this: 60 minutes, of which ca. 15 for the introduction and personal fit, 40 for the case and 5 for the questions from you to the interviewer.
That said, as an interviewer at McKinsey I have sometimes bent the timings, in particular:

Hello,
This depends on office, position, and round, but generally the case portion of the interview takes around 25-40 minutes. But there is no exact pre-determined time: it will depend on the case and how you progress through it, and the interviewer will guide you along too.
There are exceptions by office/role (e.g., some don't do PEI) but in general, an interviewer budgets 25-40 mins for the case.
Hey there,
30-40 mins are normally allocated for the case in Mckinsey interviews, but it also depends on the interviewer and how the conversation flows.
Thanks

Hi Andrea,
Careful “expecting” any one thing!
Generally you can expect it to be as quick as 15 minutes and as long as 45 minutes. On average you can expect about 30.
Ultimately, you need to adjust/react to the interviewer themselves.
