Hello there,

Happy to support you with curating effective stories for the PEI! Beyond your PEI prep, I will enable you with tools that you can also adapt to other kinds of fit interviews not in the PEI format.

Feel free to reach out!

Hey there, 

I've helped many candidates craft stories for their PEI. Often they can't find best stories, and I probe and ask targeted questions that help them introspect and find stories that match the dimensions that each of the McKinsey PEI stories are looking for. 

Feedback my candidates always get from interviews is that they had a spike (i.e. were exceptional) in their PEI stories

Let me know if I could be of help!

All the best

Hi there,

Please feel free to reach out.

PEI is one of my specialties and I have worked on almost 1,000 stories over the past 4 years with my clients.

I offer both personal 1-on-1 coaching for the PEI as well as a McKinsey Video Academy with various simulated PEI interviews and feedback lessons.

Cheers,

Florian

Hi There,

Feel free to reach out. Also please read my response to a previous PEI related question. I offer some ideas about what McKinsey is looking for in each of their prompts - Personal Impact, Inclusive Leadership, Courageous Change and Entrepreneurial Drive. 

PEI is the low hanging fruit. With some time and effort you can easily become distinctive on this dimension. It is half of your overall score at McKinsey. So grab it by the b***s and squeeze it hard.

Good luck.

Nilay
