Is it okay to use the same PEI story twice in multiple rounds of McKinsey interviews if the questions they ask dont fit neatly into one of the categories? Sometimes the same story can answer multiple types of questions, but not sure if they would frown upon this

It’s not recommended, but if it’s all you have then go for it.

just not in the same day!

In different rounds- yes
In different interview, same round- no

I’m new on the job search and still employed. I’m looking to grow further in the logistics industry. While I look for work, it’s a bit discouraging seeing how hundreds of people apply for positions I see on LinkedIn. I still apply because you never know and AI plays a huge effect in selections. Should I even bother applying when there are more than 100 applications?
