Indian theoretical physics student (round 1 McKinsey). 2 interviewers: Indian MBA from Wharton & Math Ph.D. from Yale.
Case 1: Estimate value of Amazon.com in 2005. Quite a bit of direct guidance and concrete information was given
Case 2: A firm liquefies air to separate it into its component. What improvements can you suggest. The point of this question was apparently to get the interviewer to reveal that there is a new technology available which allows separation of air by passing it through a permeable membrane.
