Alas - it seems I'm not suited to the world of management consultancy - at least, not yet. I found the first round interviews with McKinsey, Booz, and LEK quite challenging. The whole good cop / bad cop thing was really starting to piss me off by the end of it all, and I'll admit I did stumble a bit on the more open-ended strategy case questions. Perhaps after completing a couple of Strategy courses in my MBA and a dozen or so more practice interviews, I might be good enough to make it through to the second round next time. It's been quite a humbling experience.
