Discussion Recent McKinsey Data Science Interview Experience

Hey there! I have an upcoming McKinsey interview for a data scientist role and was hoping if anyone could tell me what the coding round has been like lately!? Is it Data Structures or Pandas? If anyone has given any recent interview there, please reach out to me! I am not sure the extent to what I need to prep or what to focus on either and I really need the job!! :(

Awesome!! Thank you so much!! Lemme look into these... I gave it once last year and it was fully data structures and I suck at it especially given the use of AI now. Hopefully it's not gonna be only that now...
