Mckinsey Fishes: for the PEI portion of the interview, specifically for leadership dimension, what are your perspectives of having the story with multiple steps vs focusing on one instance of challenge instead? If my story is about an experience to lead a team to plan a conference, should I focus on one obstacle (ie venue changes) or the entire scope of the project (delegation of work, plus a couple of complications) even if some action steps are not obstacles

There’s no right or wrong answer, but I recommend starting with a brief overview of the situation and then drilling down on the instance that directly answers the question..

The questions will be somewhat targeted so highly recommend providing a targeted (and synthesized) answer to get to the point i.e the classic situation, complication and resolution framework..with an emphasis on the resolution

The idea is to provide multiple peer perspectives, and hopefully something useful

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
