McKinsey PEI Mock Interview
Christina B. and Jeremy S. are two of Leland’s top management consulting coaches, and they’re teaming up to help you master McKinsey’s unique behavioral interview style called Personal Experience Interview (or PEI). Often underestimated, the PEI is one of the most pivotal parts of the consulting interview process. If you can tackle the PEI, you can likely ace any behavioral interview from any firm. Jeremy will interview Christina live.
