McKinsey & Company McKinsey & Company is it ok to reach out to a partner who interviewed you on LinkedIn after a reject and maybe talk about what the interviewers thought?

I don’t see why not. Be professional about it, express gratitude for their time, and let them know you were and are very interested in the role/company. Mention it’s still something you’d like to pursue and would appreciate any feedback they have to offer.

One of your interviewers should have called you back with feedback. I doubt you'll get much of a different response if you ask another partner.

Casing for a month is not very long, for what that’s worth. Also, not all professional coaches are created equal.

Just so you understand, everyone gets together on a call and discusses your performance, and the decision is made based on the overall performance, not any one individual case. If that’s the feedback you received, then you didn’t do well enough on any case to override whatever it was that led to the turndown (you have to exceed the bar, not just meet it). Ultimately, it doesn’t matter if some people thought you were okay or even good - everyone had to decide together whether your casing performance met the requirements. They did not, which at best means you met the bar with no clear spikes, and at worst means you performed poorly across the board.

It can’t hurt, but I’d also recommend reaching out to the recruiter who you were in contact with. Typically, they have or can get you all of that information.

Hi,
My HR discussion with
Cognizant is scheduled.
Is this going to be a salary discussion or questions like strength and weakness, why do you want to join etc?

Round or exact numbers on banners/LPs? I was curious about this since in negotiations for example or pricing it's better to have the exact number. But if you have a case study, for example, is it better to say "Client X increased their revenue to 1,000,000 ARR" instead of "Client X increased their revenue to 987,500 ARR" ? Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?
