How many unique stories did you prep/would you recommend for the pei?

So I describe the story to make sure the interviewer is ok with it. For example, for personal impact, it would be “I would like to share a story of how I persuaded XX to XX even though he was initially against the idea.”

Congrats ! How did you prep ? How many cases did you end up doing?

Were final rounds super difficult?

I prepped seriously for like a month - did around 30 serious cases (I don’t think you should compare the # cases you did to anybody because in the end my interview performance was really determined by composure level and mindset). I cannot tell details of interviews but there was nothing unexpected.

How many total interviews? Did all of them have a case? I am talking to a recruiter next week

Not sure whether I can talk about how many interviews but they are all in PEI+case format like all Mck interviews, with some self intro, chit chat and questions also

Where do I find a list of the PEI questions?

There are only three questions basically, personal impact, entrepreneurial drive and inclusive leadership, you HAVE to look at the career website closely to know their concept

A2 on their careers website.

YOE and tier of current firm? Congrats on the offer and thank you for sharing!!

YOE: 2
Tier: second tier of junior level

Can you elaborate a bit more on the timing? How long did it take from the first outreach to the offer? How much time did you have between rounds? What is their expectation regarding when you would have your start date?

Be on the lookout for Attribution Bias in yourself & on your team. It's a hindrance to creating a high-performing, inclusive culture.
