1. Different approach for M and BB
2. McK PEI is very specific and need to be prepared thoroughly. You will get question on only 1 of the 3 aspects: personal (inclusive) impact, leadership and entrepreneurship
3. Bain, BCG can ask any question but more or less revolves around the same themes. Fit questions not specifically defined
4. Write story as per some standard frameworks available e. g. STAR framework .. ensure that you bring you justification of thinking behind the action that took. What you were thinking at that point of time. Mere explaining action is not enough.
5. Don't use heavy English.. be simple, genuine and humble.
6. If you bring instances/challenges which are very relatable in (Consulting) projects, that would be good, otherwise also ok.
7. Don't oversell. Everybody fails. Learning is important.

Practice to be someone else. They sure won’t hire me if they find out who I really am

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
