Thanks for the response! I wonder how long the initial story should be (before they interrupt you and after the 1 liner version). 30 seconds? 1 minute?
Hey no worries, I would not be timing your initial response for a couple of reasons. 1 - it artificially limits your content when the interviewer is truly looking for an interesting synopsis. 2 - Your story is your personal experience and depending on the complexity it will take more time.
Thanks Lucas!

Hi mate,
Just went through 4 interviews with McKinsey and here are 4 top level questions they asked as well as some detailed drill-down questions based on the top level questions.
- (EM) Tell me about a time either at work or outside where you had a critical disagreement with your stakeholder and how you navigated this.
- (Senior EM) Tell me about a time where you faced a difficult team related problem and how you navigated this.
- (Partner) Tell me about a time where you had to demonstrate your leadership capabilities to convincing a team on an approach.
- (Partner) Talk about your leadership capabilities, but I want you to imagine you are on the front page of the newspaper, I want to see your 5 word Headline, and three dot points that are 10 words or less that described what you did.
The final question was definitely unique, and I think it was an interesting way for the partner to see how well you can synthesize and summarise your stories.
Some deep dive questions included:
"Why did you choose X place to talk to Y?"
"What reactions were you looking for?"
"What was your actual quote?"
I was offered the position at McKinsey as well so if you have any specific questions let me know.
Cheers

Interviewed with Bain Iberia 15 days ago (13th May) and haven’t heard anything back. Sent a follow up yesterday on the 2 week mark. Safe to assume I’ve been rejected they just don’t tell you? I was under the impression that they called to give feedback. Thanks in advance
