Inside the Interview Room: Live McKinsey Case with Ex-McKinsey & HBS MBA [10/29/2026] (Recording)

The McKinsey case interview is one of the highest-stakes 45 minutes in consulting recruiting. Most candidates walk in without ever having seen what the interviewer is actually scoring.

Along the way I'll show you what McKinsey interviewers are really listening for at each stage.

I worked at McKinsey across Johannesburg, New York and San Francisco, did my MBA at Harvard, and I've coached friends and classmates into McKinsey, BCG, Bain and other top firms. Whether you've got an interview in three weeks or you're just starting to think about consulting, you'll leave with a clear picture of how MBB interviews actually work and a much sharper sense of what your own prep should focus on next.
