when i did interviews with mckinsey (back in 2022) i didn’t go through this. what kind of questions they typically ask in the screening (e.g. if there are any PEIs etc)?
im just wondering what they could possibly ask to make it 45 min, thats as long as a regular full case + PEI interview

“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
I dont’t know if there are any regional differences to this. I am based out of Nordics, and here it seems to be an introductory call, where the format of the interview is explained and any questions can be asked. So not really a screening call. I was told they have this because too many people turned up to interviews without properly understanding the interview format.
