I would also argue the framework is too shallow, narrow, and does not cover all the required steps to solve the ENTIRE problem at hand and to present an approach for the ENTIRETY of the case. It is about showing from A-Z everything you want to do based on the GOAL and the SCOPE of the case. This just represents one possible CONTENT framework for the first couple of minutes of the case.

This kind of skill, structuring to MBB level, making sure the structure involved both PROCESS steps and CONTENT frameworks covering the entire problem and providing roadmaps for the entire case interview is exactly what I focus on with my coachees. Reach out if interested.

In any case, best of luck with the rest of the process!

Hi there,

I completely agree with Florian (deserving of most upvotes here).

You clearly didn't have enough ideas, that weren't deep enough, and that weren't actually tailored enough to the case.

If he asked 5 and 3 times respectively, he wasn't "testing" you, you were missing something.

It's difficult to comment not knowing the case and your full answer but it is worth realising that you don't always get "good" interviewers who are engaged with your answer and are good at asking probing questions to help you deepen your answer (and your resulting interview score). The "what else" question is an easy default that many McKinesy interviewers use, often due to laziness, but if intetionally then they are testing your ability to broaden your thinking (i.e., think outside the box) and/or take a step back and prioritise within your structure.

The example you shared is a great sign of a strong candidate who is able to identify the interdependecies in their structure. I'm not suggesting you didn't do so but it's worth thinking about whether you might have been missing details and specificities behind your structure (i.e., 3/4th level detail) as well as specific insights from the case brief that would relevant to build your hypothesis.

Hello!

First of all, take everything with a pinch of salt since we weren´t thre, hence it´s impossible to be very accurate.

Given tha numbr of follow up questions he was making and judging by the tree you presented, unfortunately it does seem too simplistic/shallow/non targeted.

Cheers,

Clara

Hey there!

If the interviewer continuously asking you "What else?" on the same point - it definitely means that you are missing something. They would never do it just to "broaden the framework". I suggest you to work through the case once again to see what you were missing out.
