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
Hello!
On top of the insights already shared in the post, next week will be pusblished in PrepLounge´s Shop material related.
In concrete, the "Integrated FIT guide for MBB". 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.

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!
Hi,
Depending on the role. In an industry research role, you will have the industry-specific questions. In general, these interviews are not that hard. 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.
You may also be hired for some data-science positions. In this case make sure that you know how to work with excel and databases (sql, etc)
Good luck!
Dear Vlad thank you so much for you kind and extremely accurrate answer. The position is a junior one about global sourcing. I just have a last follow-up question. By "applicability to different industries" you mean the applicability of analytics tools i have been using in the past ? thank you again for your precious help

in North America research analysts are Not given case interviews. Only industry specific interviews. At least this was in 2017 from talks with two friends who are now in the south offices.
hope it helps,
