Just got rejected in the final round at McKinsey. Was applying to a smaller office in the Middle East. Time to reassess and keep moving forward. Going to improve my casing and apply to BCG and Bain. Anyone have any advice or guidance?

The only feedback I really got was to be more consistent in being analytical during the case. They mentioned everything else was good and I did well in some areas of the cases I just wasn't as consistent as they would have liked. Final round was with a Partner and Senior Partner. The partner had a case for me which was much longer than other rounds which I feel like I could have possibly have done better on if it wasnt at 6am. The interview with the senior partner was more of a conversation and not much of a case. It sucks but I just gotta learn from it and move forward.

What feedback did they give on your final round? Was it all around the case? I will say that it’s a bit of a crap shoot in final rounds especially if you have an off day or something.

Just want to make sure that if the feedback was also to work on PEI that some of that will likely carry over to to the behavioral portion of the interviews at the BBs

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview?

I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!
