How to Ace McKinsey Personal Experience Interview (PEI) in 2024

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on McKinsey’s Personal Experience Interview (PEI) for 2024. Dive deep into the intricacies of this unique assessment process, which stands distinct from other consulting firms' fit interviews. The PEI adopts an interviewer-led approach, focusing intently on a singular experience from your past.
This video will unpack the structure of the PEI, highlight the recent changes introduced this year, and provide a walkthrough of potential questions rooted in four pivotal behavioral domains: Courageous Change, Personal Impact, Entrepreneurial Drive, and Inclusive Leadership. We'll share the most popular questions under each category to give you a clear picture of what to anticipate. Additionally, we will lay out nine invaluable tips to ensure you shine during the PEI, such as how to select and communicate your examples.
We will also shed light on McKinsey's newer interview format - the Values and Purpose Interview. Currently being implemented in select offices, this assessment emphasizes a candidate's alignment with the firm's core values and mission.
The video covers the following topics:
[00:00]: Introduction
[00:34]: PEI Overview
[01:31]: Potential Questions Across Four Behavioral Areas
