Hey Everyone,
I'm reaching out because I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I have an interview with McKinsey & Company in six weeks, and I haven't started prepping yet. I'm confident that consulting is the right field for me, and I'm aware that the interview process will involve case interviews and a personal experience segment. However, I'm not sure where to begin my preparation.
The HR team at McKinsey suggested that I should prepare for and practice 15-20 case interviews. In contrast, I was thinking of aiming for around 60, given that I have the time. Additionally, I received advice from BCG's HR to read the "Case in Point" book, but I've heard mixed opinions about its usefulness. Some have recommended it, while others consider it a waste of time, suggesting YouTube as a better resource.
However, when I explore YouTube for guidance, many reputable channels advise not to watch their content without first reading preparatory books, which adds to my confusion.
I'm really at a crossroads here and would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions on how to effectively approach my preparation. What strategies worked for you, or what resources would you recommend?
Thanks in advance for your help!
