How the interview runs5 stages
- 1ApplicationResume and cover letter, GPA and test score screens at most firms. A referral from a consultant you spoke to moves the application to the top of the pile.
- 2Online assessmentA problem solving test or game: McKinsey's Solve, BCG's Casey chatbot case, Bain's online test. Data reading, logic, and quick math under time.
- 3First roundTwo interviews, each about 30 minutes of case and 10 to 15 minutes of fit. Interviewer led at some firms (they steer you through questions), candidate led at others (you drive the structure).
- 4Final roundTwo or three interviews with partners or principals. Cases are less scripted and more about judgment; fit questions go deeper on leadership and impact.
- 5OfferUsually within one to three days, often by phone the same evening.
