Interviewing for McKinsey in Atlanta was actually terrible. The recruiters take forever to finalize details, and half of my interviewers didn’t even bother to read my resume and would first ask where I was going to school when I have 5 YOE. My last interviewer was yawning throughout and rubbing her eyes, and then said how she hates talking to people and wishes she didn’t have to interview anyone. Very disappointing experience overall.

The school thing makes sense if it’s not listed on your resume. MBB is very pedigree driven.

Yawning and negative attitude is horrible though.

It’s literally on my resume what class I graduated in and where from😂
