Package Description:

The goal of this package is to prepare you for the McKinsey PEI (Personal Experience Interview). The McKinsey PEI is a unique interview that requires targeted prep. At the same time, it's difficult to get accurate prep because current employees cannot do mock PEIs with candidates. This package fills that gap. You can expect: * A worksheet that explains how to approach the PEI * A template to organize your PEI stories * Live workshopping to demystify the PEI and select 6 stories * Asynchronous review of your PEI stories, including direct line edits and comments (~2 turns) * 6+ mock PEI interviews


What you'll get from this package

6 PEI stories, written in the STAR format

An understanding of what the PEI is actually assessing

Live practice running through a PEI + fielding probing questions

Coaching delivered via live sessions and .

We will discuss timelines for revisions upfront. You can anticipate a turn around time of 48 hours for all revisions if not sooner. However, all timelines will be communicated and aligned on in advance. I do not use AI in my revisions under any circumstances. All packages include an upfront coaching workplan and client services agreement.

Services included:

The first time I interviewed with McKinsey, Bain, and BCG, I bombed. I had a rockstar resume, but my case prep was limited to skimming Case in Point and reading cases alone in my room. As a non-traditional applicant, I didn't have the resources and knowledge of what it would take to adequately prepare for MBB interviews. Determined to make a comeback, I reverse-engineered the entire process the following year. I spent hundreds of hours breaking down what it would actually take to get a second chance and be ready on interview day. As a result, I landed a full-time Business Analyst offer with my dream company, McKinsey, where I also served on the Cornell recruiting team. Because of my unique experience, I am well versed not just on what it takes to get an offer, but common mistakes that many candidates make. My journey helping folks land MBB offers started when I TA'ed the Management Consulting Essentials course at the Cornell Johnson School of Business. Now as a Leland coach, I love working with folks to cut through the noise and focus on exactly what you (specifically you!) need to be offer-ready on interview day.
