Hi all,
After months of preparation for my McKinsey interview and an outstanding first round (as per the feedback of the interviewers), I got rejected all the way at the end of the second round of the interview. My casing skills were excellent at this point but I made some careless errors driven by a combination of stress and sleep deprivation. McKinsey was my “all eggs in one basket” type of opportunity and I was excited to work there. As a result of the rejection, I've lost quite some motivation and willingness to look for alternatives. How can I best deal with this situation going forward? I have a strong combination of background experience and grades, but my drive seems to be gone. How have others dealt with such situations?
