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

Question

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..."

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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!
