S24E5: McKinsey Case Interview Example: Electric Truck Market Entry
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
George Cary spent five years as a McKinsey EM. In this live case, he coaches candidate Harvey through a real McKinsey market entry study: should a diesel truck manufacturer build and sell electric trucks.
Harvey builds a framework, runs the full cost-of-ownership math, and lands a final recommendation. George pauses after every section to break down good vs. great in real time.
You'll learn:
- Why McKinsey calls it "problem solving," not casing – and the vocabulary that signals you already think like a consultant
- How Harvey turns a good, structured framework into a great, distinctive one
- The full math behind pricing an e-truck – and how to talk through your logic instead of just stating the number
Resources:
- Harvey turned 3 weeks of coaching into a case that sounded ready for the real thing – Black Belt pairs you with a coach like George who breaks down your good from your great, session by session
Consulting Deadlines:
- McKinsey, Bain, and BCG deadlines hit August 11 – 13 (and more are coming) – get interview-ready fast with Black Belt
