Got an interview at McKinsey for an associate director position (second highest position according to the recruiter) with the director next week and only have 4 YOE in consulting in total. How can I still ace this interview? I do admit I’m not quite there yet in terms of seniority and experience but I’m very coachable, a quick learner and willing to work hard/smart. Any helpful advice?? I’m nervous.

Ask to interview for a lower level role. Sometimes McKinsey recruiters overrate candidates and it ends badly.

How many yoe before consulting?

Zero, 4 YOE in total

Is this with Finalta? It’s the second highest position in Finalta not at McKinsey. Partner is the second highest position at McKinsey and they are typically 14-15 yoe. Even if it’s AD, 4 yoe sounds too little, maybe shoot for associate

Is that back office?

*scratches head*

Edit: it’s not for the consulting but more an internal role per my understanding

Go do it then, it’s corp HR, you’ll crush it. Rest you’ll learn on the job

Hello Fishes,

So far I received offers from PwC India, Capgemini and Lexmark for Data Engineering.

More are in pipeline from KPMG GS, TechM, Accenture.

But one peculiar thing is happening. I have appeared for 4 Cognizant interviews but in all I have been rejected. Whereas most of my friends had easily cleared Cognizant. I am switching tech, so I am a bit concerned like whether my knowledge is too shallow😐

Is it sign of an Imposter Syndrome 🥺

Pls help🙏🏾

Any and all advice appreciated.
