Case interview tips are abundant online. PEI is the real secret to McK interviews specifically. Have one story for each of the three PEI questions (1) inclusive leadership, 2) conflict resolution/personal impact & 3) entrepreneurial drive).

I asked for a raise in April 2022 after three years with my company. Positive feedback since day one. Learned I was making less than peers at other asset managers in NYC with less experience (14 years). Latest conversation was with HR about how they calculate salaries. I’ve been asked to provide examples how my role has changed since I started to justify the increase. Is this normal? Or is this just their way of denying my request?
