McKinsey & Company Hi all, had my final round at McKinsey & Company but was told that they want me to do an additional interview. Does anyone have any tip on how to prep for that/anything to focus on? Feeling very stressed since it seems like this one interview will be the deciding factor

I had this happen to a good friend - additional 3rd round because the 2 people in her 2nd round did not agree on outcome (one really wanted her in, other did not). Maybe try to figure out which interview went best and copy that (and try understanding what might have gone wrong in the other one)?
In any case prepare just like the other rounds, our interviews all have the same standard format

Was she selected later on?

I do believe that is common when the 2 interviewers do not agree on the outcome.

I would guess it'll focus a bit more on the points they didn't agree on (e.g. Maths or smth). Good (prob. biased) news is that everyone I've met that faced this situation got the offer (N=5).

Did you get any feedback? Feel free to dm

Ask for feedback from the prior interviews
As long as you adjust for the feedback you should be able to get an offer

Tried asking for feedback from recruiter but only got very general stuff so not sure

It's good news. They want to hire you which is why they are giving you one more chance. You cannot have the same issues across all the interviews so they want you to do well on whatever that one pattern was.

Yeah I had asked recruiter and she was very explicit about not wanting to give specific feedback and just gave me some general advice

I had a friend interviewing for Bain who was given this same situation - it is likely to just be an additional behavioral check (but obviously check feedback to see if their concern was on cases or PEI).

Thanks! Yeah recruiter wouldn’t give feedback so will just prep everything

Now I am unsure how I convey this to my manager coz I want to stay here but at the same time I am salivating over this new offer and wish I get similar numbers here. Is it worth raising a discussion? If yes what would be a subtle way to do so?

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

Vesting schedule

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.
