Hi guys, a simple question, are all McKinsey interviews interviewer led or just the first round?
I assume the final round would be candidate led?
Thanks

Hi,
Not necessarily. Partners and Directors have their own favorite cases and may even want you to lead the case. The key difference:
- You ask clarifying questions in the beginning and make a structure
- You lead the case through the structure you've prepared a) asking questions and trying to identify the root-cause of the problem in the branch of your structure b) making a transition to the next branch c) proactively calculating the data and making data-driven conclusion from the data they give you d) Making a conclusion when they ask you to finish a case
It may seem to you that these 2 types of cases are different, however, the interviewer-led type is just a simplified version of the interviewee-led case. My advice is to always prepare in the interviewee-led format so that you could solve both easily.
Best
