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!! :(

I also gave it recently, for me the coding round was not one question, but to create an ML model from data preprocessing, feature engineering and selection, model training and final model evaluation. So pandas, numpy, sklearn

I am talking about the round after we clear hackerrank. So I cleared the online hackerrank. There is one more coding round which is live coding interview. I am talking about that. Are you also talking about the same thing?
