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.

I'm trying to frame my answer to the leadership question. I once talked to my mom about how I was selected as CEO in a group project. It was because of my strong technical skills+connections(I already know 80% of the group)+activeness. My mom said that's exactly what she values in the professional setting. Can I answer the question in this way during interviews? I feel like it's not the common approach since this answer does not involve any specific actions, but could potentially stand out.
