Goodmorning everyone,
I need your help!
I have a question regarding Mckinsey for everyone who applied as a junior research analyst. Apart from case interviews and PEI, did you have also some technical interviews? What were they about?
In particular given the JD mentioning an advanced use of M.Office , you have been asked questions about specific Excel/Power Point tools.
Thank you in advance for sharing your precious experience, that would be incredibly kind

Hi!
You will have 3-4 standard case interviews (expect cases in your industry as well) with FIT and some industry-specific questions. You should know:
I think the best way to prepare is to find the relevant technical articles and knowledge nuggets on McKinsey official site - they have plenty of them.
Best!

The case study is the most important element of the case interview, which you'll have to nail in order to get into strategic consulting. Here you can learn the specific skills and concepts necessary to solve them.
Case Interviews can be led by the candidate or by the interviewer: In Candidate-led cases the main challenge is the structure. In Interviewer-led cases the main challenge is to adapt quickly
Tell me of a situation where you had an opinion and no one seemed to agree with you. What was your goal when you decided to join university / work / clubs / a sports team? Did you have a goal that you were not able to reach? What did you do? What do you want to be remembered for and how are you ... Open whole case
