I did well on 8 McKinsey interviews, messed up the 9th one with the internal client i’d be supporting, did well on the 10th and 11th interviews. Didn’t get the job. 10/11 people loved me. But that 11th person was the difference

Wow

A case interview doesn’t define you… f’em. Just remember you aren’t even going in solo, so this case stuff is just to weed out others that don’t have the prior prep!
