McKinsey Solve game - Deadline

Hey everyone! Have to complete the Online McKinsey Game, and today recevied this message:

"You will be able to complete Solve until Monday, October 21, 2024."

I am planning to complete the online assessment on Monday, October 21st, but I was wondering if there is a specific deadline in terms of hours (I am currently in the London time zone). Is it safe to leave it for Monday? Im away from my hometown until then thats why...

 Thank you!

Hey! 

I always recommend just calling HR! :) 

Best, Alessa

Hi there,

Best option is to reach out to HR to confirm but if you don’t get a reply, a reasonable assumption would be the time zone of the specific office you applied to (or earliest time zone of the 3 office options selected).

Sometimes HR's are slow in responding so I suggest you try to solve the game earlier or try calling HR directly

Hi there,

Regardless of the hour of the day, I would not wait until the very last day to complete it due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g., internet issues, catching the flu, construction work in your building on Monday).

I'd take it on Sunday to have a bit of a buffer.

All the best,

Florian
