I was invited for the first round McKinsey interview at the New York office and after speaking to different consultant and reading online, I am a bit confused what the first structure is intended to achieve. I attended the McKinsey Information event and there the person introducing the structure was speaking for about 9 minutes, however I have a feeling this might be a bit long. I have also heard from some consultants that the structure should be about 3-4 minutes to explain.
Now, after we have clarified the length of the structure, it would also be great if you could let me know whether I should also include hypothesis in the structure. Again, there seem to be different schools on this, some say, its a good idea and others say that it is assumptive. It would be great to give some insights about the level of detail expected from a structure at McKinsey and how hypothesis-driven the structure itself should be.
Cheers!
