Does the invitation to WebEx Case mean I passed the PST and I am allowed to the first interview ?

I am doing the process with McKinsey. I took the Imbellus test a week ago. I received two emails, the first one from Mckinsey recruiting saying "In preparation for the next stage of your recruiting process"  and another one from one of the hr saying  "As a current candidate in McKinsey's interview process, I would like to invite you to attend a WebEx training session on case interviewing..."

Congratulations on making it there!

If they have sent you an invite to a case, it seems like that. However, usually they also follow-up with an email and guidance on how to prepare. Now you should plan your preparation approach carefully to be best prepared when going into the cases.

Hello!

Congrats there!

Usually yes, but can you clarify the company and the previous steps you took?

In general in consulting it´s a funnel, so you need to be successful in step 1 in order to be invited to step 2. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers, 

Clara

Woohoo! Congratulations!

Yes, you are on to the next phase. You have passed the PST!

I highly advise you to get started ASAP on reading materials, scouring the Q&A, coaching with other PrepLoungers, and hiring a coach to help you prep.

Good luck!
