Has anyone else hit a point where you physically can’t fake enthusiasm anymore? I used to be good at smiling through the chaos, nodding along in meetings, and saying “sounds great!” even when it clearly didn’t. But lately, even pretending feels exhausting. I’ve found myself zoning out during standups, avoiding small talk, and feeling this low-grade dread about everything.

If you’re pushing through every day just to survive, the problem isn’t you, it’s the job. Stop smiling for people who wouldn’t notice if you burned out.

Get out now. That’s dissociation and is an indicator. Don’t learn the hard way. Take care of yourself and find another job while you do.

What’s the bar of passing the first round at McKinsey like? if I didn’t do well in the same part of a cases for both interviews (ie reading graphs for high level insights and implications) would that be even worse than having different performance across other areas (ie not doing well in A on case 1 but not doing well in B on case 2)? I thought the quant was fine but i dont think i did well on graph reading for either cases. Pei was also fine and so was the rest of the case
