McKinsey & Company Just had the first of my final round interviews with McKinsey & Company. A bit taken aback as the interviewer specifically asked me to share a PEI story that I have not shared with the previous round interviewers. I have not heard of other case partners who had the same experience and they were usually able to share the same stories as they did in the first round. Any insights on this? Thanks much!

You typically need to prepare different PEIs for all your rounds. They tell you this at all the information sessions.

I had been told that I can reuse the stories in the recruiting information session though. the reason is that the partners can look for different things from associates/managers in the first round, and so far most of the ppl that I know reused their stories. Was wondering which is the norm and if what I experienced is not the norm then what does it mean? Thanks

Extremely common and clearly communicated that this is the case.

Many interviewers ask that. This happened to me too. Since they all sit together and discuss about you and your stories you shouldn't want to share the same story more than once anyways. You need to give them as many examples as possible of you being amazing

This is standard. Even written explicitly in the interviewer script.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

Appeared for an interview in TCS on 7th april and after that no mail communication, only phone calls to upload documents. Uploaded documents and it is showing in verified stage. Status in portal still showing "Resume Shortlisted", what is that mean??
