Hi All,

Am an experienced hire (2 years investment banking) looking to make a move to MBB London office.

For anyone who has gone through the process in a similar situation to mine, did you have to take PST for McKinsey or any other tests for Bain or BCG? I thought these were only for people being recruited from universities but am uncertain after having a chat with a headhunter.

If these tests are the norm, could you please recommend resources to prepare in a brief period of time (especially for Bain and BCG)?

Thanks a lot!

Thank you Vlad - that is helpful. In case one has to take the test, do you know for certain that they are both online? Or is there a possibility of having them written during the assessment?

Dear A,

There is no single answer, because it may vary according to the region and to your experience. So I would recommend you to cintact HR directly.

Best,
André
