Hey there,

1. They will be discussing their recommendation (move to next round or reject) and their supporting observations for the different dimensions that are important. 

2. If you received feedback in the first interview, focus on that aspect. If not, focus on where you think are weakest, while still honing the other skills that are needed. Don't overdo it, but rather also find time to relax pre-interview.

3. Depends on the firm. In McK, this is not really common, whereas in BCG it is. Be open and most importantly, stay cognitively flexible/ don't get surprised by 'bad' interviewer behavior.

4. No, for these basic questions you can keep your answers the same since they are about personal reasons and not personal traits you showed in a specific situation.

5. See answer #2.

All the best!

Cheers,

Florian

Hi there,

Well done on getting to the 2nd round!

1. It doesn't matter anymore, you're onto the next round! But, they check to see if they're aligned in their decision. If not, they discuss whether you should move forward or not

2. Focus on any weaknesses. Particularly those that may have come out during the interview. If they gave you feedback, work on that. Also, rest! Don't burn yourself out beforehand!

3. No. Not should expect that they won't be. Please don't assume anything. Anything can happen here (exhibits/no exhibits, "bad cop"/"good cop", full case or shortened case, etc. etc.). You need to be flexible/adaptable.

4. No need to change anything. (Unless there were gaps)

5. See #2

Good luck!

Hello! 

Congrats! My thoughts on your questions:

1. There won't be comms between 1st and 2nd round interviewers
2. I would totally do that
3. Not at all, it's very random who you will get. It can be a sweetheart again, or a bad cope
4. Not at all! Stay true to yourself and the answers that you had worked on

Hope it helps! Cheers, 

Clara

Focus on areas you can do better , dont worry about outcome or what the interviewers will/wont do, and aim to give your best. And importantly, be well rested!
