My last 3 months- Interviewed with Mckinsey, PwC and then Amazon. Gave my 100% in all 3 and reached the final round of every interview but still couldn’t able to convert anyone of them. Feeling 😔

Why would you leave Deloitte for PwC?

Don't feel bad, I didn't get McK or BCG in the last round either. Worked out fine in the end.

In 2008 for Summer MBA Intern and in 2009 for full time, I had final rounds with McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and I think Oliver Wyman.... 8 interviews and no offers. I had probably a dozen more with less prominent firms that I didn’t get as well (the Recession sucked 😂) . The one offer I had was Deloitte and I’m closing in on Partner. It will work out 👍

I really wanted MBB and particularly one of them I wanted real bad. Got to the final interview twice and got dinged. Finally DD came to campus and hired me. I soon realized that I was chasing after the wrong kind of work. I wasnt cut out for business consulting. Tech was my thing and I sailed through the interviews.

Echoing the sentiments of others that it will work out. Many years ago, I interviewed at BCG and McK as a lateral analyst. Bombed BCG first round because I had never done a case. Thought I did well enough in M final round for an offer, but it didn’t happen. Ended up doing MBA and landing at BCG as consultant.

Basically ended up in the post MBA role at exactly the same time I would have otherwise. Got a huge bonus of doing an MBA as well.

Hello! I see a ton of questions in here about interviewing and getting hired as a PM. I also know that it’s really hard as a manager to hire a great team. I’m the head of product at a growing startup, and just hired two PMs in 3 months. One a career switcher who’d never been a PM before, and one a seasoned principal PM. Whether you are someone who’s interviewing or someone who’s hiring right now, ask me anything!

I have been working in SEA region last 4 years. I feel burned out. I have 10yoe, I have try to move to other country but I pretty much suck in LeetCode. I want to take some time off to unwind, finish some personal business, and really prepare for interviews. I would like to hear from you.
