Have a little free time so I'll post on that blog and here about McKinsey, case interview process, etc. |

Date: August 13th, 2014 11:39 PM Author: Confused coiffed knife dragon Not much is transferable. Being willing to do meaningless depressing shit and put up with awful clients.
Maybe some public speaking/advocacy.
For getting the job, you do the case interviews, background doesn't matter. |

Seems reasonable to say in a thread about working at McKinsey

Date: August 13th, 2014 11:50 PM Author: chrome institution No, no it's not. No one constructs a sentence: "I am an alum of ____private enterprise based in large urban area____," except for a small subset of urban elite 20 and 30-somethings with a very specific background. It is not normal. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2644419&forum_id=2#26123736) |

i'm a rising 2nd year in b-school and although i'm interested in finance, consulting definitely has me intrigued. i went to a BCG info session recently and was very impressed by the caliber of people.
how much time do you recommend for preparing for case interviews, given that i have no background in this? |
