Just so you know, what we can do with a referral is make sure a recruiter looks at your resume. That's a big plus, as there are so many applicants that don't even get that. Beyond that, you're just another candidate. I send referrals for people from my (non-target) b-school all the time. I'd say 20% of referrals get interviews

Approached by a LinkedIn recruiter on behalf of McKinsey.... didn't go through. Recruiter said McKinsey cyber team was so small and overwhelmed by a huge number of applicants. For your reference, I have 5 years experiences.

I'd rather not name it because there aren't many from it at Mck, but an MBA program ranked between 15-25

Have they offered the referral? Is it based on something you've done other than < 1 year of tech at PwC? Do you have your MBA? Maybe. Otherwise, no.

I'd say <50%. Need more experience

@m1, where did you go to school

Cool thanks for the info
