Hi All. McKinsey emailed me that I will have an interview in early 2021 but didn't confirm the date yet.. Do they usually do interviews in January or later? and this means it is enough time to dig into the case studies right?

Hi,
There is no set timeline. Each office will decide the interview dates based on availability of the interviewers. Even if they come up with a certain date, you can always reschedule. Pls take your time to prepare

Hi,
I'm currently in the interview cycle for McKinsey Middle East (final round in a few weeks). A friend of mine who was supposed to interview with me in November for first round in KSA got his interview pushed to the third week of January, so they are definitely interviewing in January.

Best,
