Happened to me. Repeated same story. Got an offer.

Associate 1 i have a first round with McKinsey coming up. How long was your story told? I heard its best to tell it for 5 min but i also heard you can give an upfront short version around 2 min and then elaborate on any parts

That should not happen. You’ll meet with 2-3 people (depending on first round or final) and there’s 3 dimensions we’re screening. Each assessor is assigned one. You will see the same dimensions tested between first and final though. Good luck!

Thanks.

Very low but happened to me.
Prepare a backup story for each or atleast 4-5 stories.

Great advice! Sounds like there may have been an error there, glad you were prepared anyhow!

What is PEI?

Personal Experience Interview

If this happened, would it be possible to let the interviewer know that this has been asked before?

Think you certainly could, but I would probably just roll with it. You should come with multiple examples for each category anyhow just in case an assessor asks you for a different one.

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about.

My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?
