McKinsey fish, any advice on the “situational experience interview” as part of the EM assessment? Is this the same as the PEI?

It is similar to PEI only in the attribute that it is based on your professional experiences and no case interview is involved. It differs in the attributes tested. Be prepared to share examples from your work ex that demonstrate stakeholder management, project and team leadership skills. Prepared 3-5 examples that demonstrate those skills. Also, there are questions such as what could you have done differently, what would your team say, what were the learnings from the project.

My Accenture recruiter told me that in order to revise my current offer she would need to reject my current offer first and no need to worry on that part. Is this normal? Please provide genuine feedback.

What KPIs do you give upper management to set hiring expectations for senior tech talent? What tools do you use to calculate/track applicants vs recruiters screens and submissions vs HM interviews which lead to offers?
