Just curious to know if McKinsey would give an offer to a candidate prior to them doing all of the interviews. If so, would this happen after an interview with a partner in R2? I'm assuming the candidate would have to be overwhelming impressive.

Hey there,
I have 2 reflections on that may be useful on this topic
- McKinsey will grant offers to you only after you've completed the entire set of Interviews and not before. The "hire" decision is made by the Partners
- You being given an offer is typically solely made off your individual performances against McKinsey's bar and not based off how you compare with other candidates.
All the best!

No, this can’t happen. The process is highly structured, and you must complete all interviews.
I’ve seen candidates excel in all but the final interview and ultimately not receive an offer due to their performance in that last stage.

hey there!
From my experience as an interviewer at McKinsey, offers are never extended before all interviews are completed. The process is designed to ensure a thorough and structured evaluation, incorporating multiple perspectives, and there are no exceptions to this.
Best, Alessa
