      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company in Dec 2024

      Interview

      1. Application Screening: The first step was submitting my resume and cover letter. The company reviewed my academic background, work experience, and overall alignment with McKinsey's core values. 2. Online Assessment: I was invited to complete the Solve assessment, McKinsey's gamified problem-solving test. It focused on evaluating problem-solving abilities through interactive scenarios. 3. First-Round Interviews: This round involved two interviews: Personal Experience Interview: I was asked to discuss past experiences that demonstrated leadership, problem-solving, and the ability to drive impact. Case Study Interview: This part required solving a business problem during the interview, analyzing data, and structuring my thoughts. 4. Second-Round Interviews: In this round, senior-level interviewers conducted the interviews. It included more in-depth case studies and discussions to assess strategic thinking and overall fit for the company. 5. Final Review and Offer: After the interviews, McKinsey reviewed my performance from all stages before extending an offer.
