I think I just want to rant and see if people have felt the same at some point.
I am actively preparing for Mckinsey because I think I will be interviewing with them within a month. Everyone around me is convinced I will get in and that this is a logical move for me that has been long time coming. I do not. Not the logical part, because I truly believe I fit there and will do a good job. I just can't seem to understand what is so good about me and what is makes everyone around me so impressed with everything that I do. In terms of preparation, I am trying to think of PEI stories and I cannot even think of one appropriate story. I speak to my friends to try to see what examples they can give me and their response is that I have so much going on but never anything specific. I can't think of a single story that is good enough. I have gone through very difficult things in life and I manage to get myself out of sticky situations but these aren't the kind of things I want to speak about in an interview. I don't want to sour up the mood.
To end on a meaningful note, how do I manage to get out of this cycle of self doubt and see myself through the same light that others see me in? How much leeway do I have when it comes to PEI stories having a sad setup but a happyish ending?
