Hi there,

I totally understand the desire to have a sense of control here and predict the outcome! I would advise against this sort of thiking (there's really no benefit to it) BUT I'll also humour you here as I know it helps :)

It is a unanimous decision. So, while one Partner may not have loved you, if they think you're decent, and the others present a strong case for you, they would likely make an offer. However, at the end of the day this is all people dynamics and "politics". The one who doesn't like you has to be acquiesent enough to agree. Or be a less vocal individual. Or have less soft power. The ones who like you have to be vocal and feel strongly about you.

Only time will tell what will play out. It's a coin flip it sounds like. Fingers crossed for you!

P.S. I know people who think they aced an interview and compeltely bombed it, and others who think they bombed it who aced it. In general, people are not as good judges of their own performance as they think!

Hi there,

When I was at McKinsey, these of conversations (called decision meetings) were typically consensus-based. In other words, although each interviewer would complete a form assessing your performance based on the objective criteria, ulimately, it came down to "what do we think as a group?"

Therefore, if two of them really liked you, and one sort-of did, the likely conversation is "Do we want to hire someone who wasn't consistent across all three? How much did you two like him?" This is simlar to the term you used, "majority decision."

Bottom line, if you made a great impression on those two, your chances are very good! This is especially true if you did extremely well with one of the two. I'm feeling your chances are very good!

Best of luck,

Allen

Hey there!

Understanding the process probably will not help you to deal with the nervous. However, there might be several different ways of how the whole thing goes but in general its a completely unanimous decision. So, if you do think that at least two interviews went very well - you have pretty good chances to get an offer.

Fingers Crossed!

Hello!

I imagine how nervous you must be :) We will keep our fingers crossed.

It´s impossible to forecast, but what I can tell you is that the decision needs to be unanimous.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,
