What does a real McKinsey interviewer-led case actually look like?
In this episode, you’ll step into a live McKinsey-style case interview focused on a luxury hotel expansion in Dubai targeting high-net-worth “whale” customers.
Led by former McKinsey consultant Aditya Ghosh, this walkthrough breaks down how top candidates approach interviewer-led cases – from asking the right clarifying questions to structuring, solving exhibits, and communicating under pressure.
You’ll also see live feedback throughout the case, so you can understand not just what to do, but how interviewers evaluate your performance in real time.
