It's highly likely that you will get slides on your interviews. Maybe not on all, but surely for a few of them.

You can ask to see them again, if it is important. Now, that doesn't mean you should not type down the key points, i.e., the key insights and supporting numbers that you think you may need later on to provide the recommendation or with which perform some calculation.

Hi there,

You've been “lucky” to-date so to speak. I can assure you that plenty of interviews include charts. Bain for example is known for sharing multiple charts in one go.

Please don't get lulled into this false sense of complacency :)

In terms of notes, absolutely write down key pieces of info/takeways but don't re-write the entire exhibit/chart! You can always ask the interviewer to go back to a chart.

This is very unusual. Especially since charts have been a key element in MBB interviews and aren’t at all difficult to share during an online interview.

In McKinsey, interviews have to have charts! However, since they often relate to specific questions, some (slow) candidates don’t make it to the chart. However, that rarely happens and I’m assuming this is not the case with you.

Where I would expect charts to be absent (or at least wouldn’t be surprised) are partner/final round interviews.

Bottom line is that you should continue to expect charts/graphs/tables etc. - they will come eventually! And when they do, I hope you’ll be ready :)

Best of luck!
