Hey there,

Shoot me a message with your email address. I have a couple of real and shareable McKinsey cases.

If you are not able to hire a coach, have a read through these two articles. They cover the McKinsey interviews well!

Hi Anon! 

There is literally a ton of resources out there, from case compilation hard-copy books to amazing online/PDF versions which are free to download. 

I think the bigger challenge is to prioritize, and to get the actual interview practice - I recommend 15-20 live cases, as both interviewer and interviewee - going. That is the key to your prep, together with some talent, preparation, frameworks etc - and way more important than the number of cases you have read. Obviously, myself and most people who went into consulting here have probably read fewer cases than you already :)

One example for a useful online PDF is the Wharton casebook, which you will find via a google search or through this link:

You can google for MBA Case Books. There are a few available there - but beware the suggested answers there as they aren't necessarily great (these books are prepared by candidates, although some have active support from consulting firms who provide a real case).

If you find it hard to find them you can PM me.

Hey there! McKinsey cases are indeed quite different from other cases. As you're collecting cases on the basis of all the great suggestions you're receiving here, I would urge you to do the following:

• Learn about about the differences between McKinsey (interviewer-led) and other firms e.g. Bain, BCG (interviewee-led). With that, I do not mean the actual content but rather the entire flow and approach, which you will not get from just reading a long list of cases.
• Expert help can be quite costly, of course, but I would still consider at least 1 hour to make sure you're going in the right direction. This is not a self-serving comment but honest advice. I have seen too many candidates in interviews who practiced plenty but simply weren't adjusted for interviewer-led, which can be tricky.

If you're unsure and would like to learn more, please feel free to reach out!
