I applied online. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Cairo, Cairo Governorate) in Oct 2024
Interview
They always try to get you to recruit for your home office so don’t bet on getting an interview in Dubai if you live elsewhere in the Middle East. I got interviewed by people in the Dubai office for a role in Egypt yet my second interviewer wasn’t clear on which office I was applying for till the end.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you dealt with someone with an opposing opinion
2 interviews back-to-back in-person. Cases weren't super hard but you definitely need to prepare a lot beforehand to navigate the curveballs and be able to function under high stress. Expect difficult industries and focus on PEI which is half as important.

Question 1
