How many types of cases will be asked within Mckinsey interviews (both 1st and 2nd rounds)

Off the top of my head, I can also think of non-profit fundraising and cost cutting / right sizing,

Operations could includte capacity change, logistics and lean manufacturing for example.

Really, there is a near infinite type of cases you can be given; a single word may alter the case completely. This is why I always teach the mechanics of the case (teach a man to fish) rather than focusing on a specific type of case (give the fish). Even as a consultant, you'll always do well the second time you have to work on the same problem - but this will pretty much never happen at MBB (it would at Tier2 and boutiques however)

Hello!

Congrats for moving to final round!

As it has been outlined, its very similar, but :

• Cases you can expect are more "free riding" - less organized than the ones your found in the 1st round or most prep pages
• Stronger emphasis in the FIT part, as outlined before by other coaches.

If you are interested in deepening your knowledge and preparation on the FIT part, the "Integrated FIT guide for MBB" has been recently published in PrepLounge´s shop (https://www.preplounge.com/en/shop/tests-2/integrated-fit-guide-for-mbb-34)

It provides an end-to-end preparation for all three MBB interviews, tackling each firms particularities and combining key concepts review and a hands-on methodology. Following the book, the candidate will prepare his/her stories by practicing with over 50 real questions and leveraging special frameworks and worksheets that guide step-by-step, developed by the author and her experience as a Master in Management professor and coach. Finally, as further guidance, the guide encompasses over 20 examples from real candidates.

Furthermore, you can find 3 free cases in the PrepL case regarding FIT preparation:
