Their cases are not that much more intense than most. Primary difference is in style as they're inteviewer-led. Their fit interviews, however, are like an interrogation. Make sure you're fully prepared for that.

PEI is really important to understand what we are looking for. And before the cases, make sure to practice how to succeed in interviewer-led cases, which can be quite different than candidate led ones! I can also answer some questions if you post them

OP. Look up PEI. The behavioral is intense- they will go to the nth detail e.g. Let's say you're describing a negotiation - they would ask what number did you receive what did you respond back with and how. The case at McK really is fun. They're open ended and it's important to go deep enough from what I was coached on. You will have a coach as well. Use the coach strategically. Look up Dconza ( I forget the exact spelling ) or electro light. Overall an amazing experience that I wish continued but grateful to go through it.

Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

Has anyone dealt with a lack of praise from attorneys? I'm not someone who needs to hear "good job" all the time, but we just got a huge deal closed that I worked really hard on and had a lot of overtime. And once it closed, the lead attorney praised the other attorneys, and said nothing about me or my work. I might just be overly sensitive, but it kind of stung. Thoughts?
