Hi everyone,
I'm currently preparing for a McKinsey case interview, and I have some specific questions regarding the interviewer's prompts to "what else" and "elaborate more" after I've answered their questions.
Here are my questions:
- What is the interviewer's intention when they ask "what else" or "elaborate more" after I provide an answer?
- What are they testing or looking for when they give such responses?
- What strategies can I use to handle and answer these kinds of responses effectively? Is it a good strategy to intentionally hold back 1-2 points during my thinking time just in case they ask for more?
- What should I do if I genuinely have nothing more to add or elaborate on when prompted?
I'd appreciate any tips, personal experiences, or strategies you could share to help me prepare better for these types of follow-up questions. Thanks in advance!
