McKinsey & Company I have a first round McKinsey EM interview and I was told it was purely a one hour fit interview. I have already talked to another HR representative. I’ve asked around some friends at McKinsey and was told this was atypical / didn’t know what to expect. Does anyone know what type of fit questions I should be expecting? McKinsey & Company

Op do you need some fit interview prep

funny

Yes I am ideally looking for some help on prepping

I would start prepping on the PEI regardless.

A) There is no good way to say ‘uh I haven’t been told to prep for this’. Yeah it’s true but you won’t come out ahead. Different for cases, because you can say ‘need to exercise’, but difficult for PEI - what, you just don’t have any good stories to tell?

B) You’ll need it in most/some of the following rounds, so risk of lost time is not that large.

who are you meeting with? a consultant or another recruiter?

As an update, it ended up being a 30 minute PEI interview style questioning everything you did internally with your team and externally with the client

Is it for an EM position aligned to a certain practice?

Not a good job in the recruiters part to describe what would be expected

Just to clarify further the recruiter said there would be no PEI or cases. It is an informal chat for the fit interview.

The position is for a generalist EM position in the US

It could definitely be that the HR representative may not be explaining the process to me correctly.

She mentioned after this its straight to PEI + Cases which I thought was the second round

It is another recruiter. I figured it’ll just be more fit questions so just practicing those and prepping PEI

Helo everyone,

I have put down the papers from infosys and my LWD is near . I have to choose between DXC with 22 LPA and TCS with 18 LPA . I am a mainframe developer with 11 years of experience.
I have asked TCS to revise the salary but that seems unlikely that they will match the difference.
