My friend just interviewed with McKinsey at LBS and apparently her interviewer took over the case after 2 minutes and started solving it himself 😂

She’s a bit confused if this is normal. Comments?

This happened with me at Accenture and I don’t think he realized he did it. Seemed like he was just used to a collaborative discussion. Either way, I appreciated it and got the job! Was new to consulting but had other experience so case studies were new to me

I’d say probably a bad thing because the interviewer has no basis to pass them. Maybe they were so bad the interviewer thought “f*ck it, I’m just going to do this myself”

Same, had one interviewer do the same thing (in last rouns though, so less focus on case anyway), got hired! 😄

Should I complain to a firm's HR if the interviewers laughed at my answer during an interview? Maybe it sounded scripted but it was still heartfelt and genuine: my immigration story and how that made me appreciate the rule of law. I said it soo many times during OCI's that maybe it eventually sounded robotic, but for the interviewers to laugh and one to say sarcastically "nice elevator pitch", I thought was rude. Thoughts?

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position.

HR pros - I have a question for you. I got disappointing news that I didn’t get either of the roles I applied for. I was shocked because the interviews went really well and my experience was in line, if not on the higher end of requirements. I was told that it was my salary and job title expectation. I’d be ok with that if they hadn’t flown my ass out there to meet with everyone. They knew my salary and position expectations before inviting me to the interview. Should I buy it?
