For those who have gone through Mck First Round/Final Round - could you talk about how the interview took place? I am a bit worried as it might be hard to connect with the interviewer when the process is not in-person. Did you have a phone call or a Zoom call with video, and did it feel awkward? Thanks for your help!

A few weeks ago I had a boss make fun of me on a call for looking “gloomy” and he wouldn’t let it go. He kept yelling in a joking way at me to ‘cheer up’ in front of others on a zoom call.

Had a great start to the week.

I was having a conversation with an attractive woman at the club last night. Turns out we were on the same flight and even upgraded to adjoining seats! Had a great time on the plane, too.

Took an Uber to my hotel (after exchanging numbers with the lady). The hotel put me in a corner suite!

Fantastic breakfast this morning. I will have to wait a day or two before texting my lady-friend.
