Bombed final round McKinsey interview..
I am as advanced degree holder applying for a Junior Associate position at McKinsey.
Had 2x interviews yesterday (1 EM 1 Partner), both went very well in general but given some feedback re quant - I wasn’t voicing out the building blocks enough.
Today, had another 2x interview (1 AP 1 Partner) and completely bombed the AP one. Bad case structure to begin with, not MECE, very unfamiliar topic, then later got the complete wrong answer for math. The steps were correct, but I spent a few minutes trying to figure a fast way to calculate my final answer to no avail. Nerves got me. Interviewer didn’t say anything and went straight to Q&A before ending.
It was cold and I didn’t really connect with the interviewer throughout. AP was a very straight laced person with 5* professional and academic credentials..
Partner case went really well though - conversation was natural, candid.
I am having anxiety attacks now. Anyone had similar experience?
