Do McKinsey interviewers compare your PEI stories? I have two stories that are really good and that depending on which part of the story I talk about can answer different portions of the PEI Questions (convincing some story and leadership stories etc.) is it bad to use the same story but just talk about a different part of it in detail?

Thank you everyone. For reference, it’s not just that I wanted to tell the same story it’s that the story I used for my first round had multiple parts to it.

Ex:
I accomplished A through B
I accomplished C through D
I accomplished E through F

And, I was trying to see if I could use a different part of C as my example that I expand on for another PEI

Random, but valid/persistent thought.

After 2 years of a pandemic and working independently for many years, I am not feeling interviews AT ALL. There are points in the interview where I want to just say "Look! Either hire me or don't".

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?
