I made it through 2 rounds of interviews at McKinsey before getting rejected. Both rounds were case studies. Does this mean I can put “ex-McKinsey” on my LinkedIn now??

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be).

And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time

Scores consider the number of accounts that are paid as agreed. Your score was impacted because the number of these accounts is too low, or because you've missed payments recently on some of your accounts.
