McKinsey & Company Bain & Company Interviewing with an internal consulting team and was told I would have 1 or 2 interviews with someone at the same level as I would be. 1) what’s the best approach when interviewing with someone at your level? Ask questions related to projects/what makes them succeed at the position? 2) I was told there are a lot of ex McKinsey & Company Bain & Company and Boston Consulting Group folks. I come from a very generic background. Are they going to be looking for anything in particular?

I would try to ask more questions about why they chose the team and what they'd tell a friend to be aware of before joining (good or bad).

I would avoid trying to come off too aggressive or try hard as peers are more likely to find that off-putting. They don't want someone who is going to rock the boat

You need to urinate on the table in front of him to assert dominance.

Very helpful. Wonder how long you’ve been waiting to use that.

I think those are great Qs! They’ll be testing if you seem nice and normal above all else.

Writing sample question:

I’m applying for an associate position at a big law firm. I graduated law school last year but immediately went in-house at a large corporation and I’m now looking to make a move to a firm setting.

In my role at the corporation, I haven’t gotten to draft anything substantial. I’ve put together a couple of memos but only one reaches 10 pages and it’s not particularly interesting. Is it bad if I use a more impressive writing sample from my 2L summer?

Hi. I am so frustrated with how long it is taking to get hired. I feel crazy & sad. I am a 24 yr old- got my bachelors in 2020. Have worked as a temporary high school teacher, sub, videographer, and most recently sales rep. Was doing good there but got really screwed over with technical payment issues & workplace discrimination. At any rate, I want a stable real job. So for the past 4 months I have been applying & either get interviews with rejection or just not going forward at all. Help

I was reached out by a recruiter at PwC for salesforce position. The recruiter mentioned with my 3 YOE, all in consulting with 1 of it being in SF implementation, I would come in as experienced associate or maybe a senior associate.

Her point is pretty accurate, but am I crazy to slow down for my mental health and sanity at the expense of delaying promo by 3 months?
