McKinsey & Company How likely is McKinsey to rescind an offer if there's a recession/downturn before my start date? Received an Associate offer with a start date early in the Fall. But I'm worried about the offer being rescinded due to the ongoing McK scandals/issues and a potential recession in the making (which may prompt them to freeze hiring and/or renege offers).
Has this happened to anyone before at McKinsey, offer getting rescinded due to economic/company downturn? A bit worried

Hi folks
I wanted a suggestion from you all guys, I have given interview of PS and got a call for offer after interview and I denied the offer as I have received an offer from some other company, I denied coz I was not doing offer shopping or piling offers, he tried to convince me and when I didn't get convinced he said to blacklist me from PS. What to do?

Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.

If I am reading this correctly, it seems to be the opposite in my experience. Working in field service organizations the past 25 years it seems to be the higher up the ladder people move, the less accessible they are. It is like an unspoken rule. You can reach anyone today but you shouldn't. Boundaries seem to increase, only paths of commincation comes from direct reports. Additionally, at least in the US, those leaders are isolated from the realities of the organization because of this limitation and partly because nobody wants to deliver anything negative to them. In my opinion this can destroy a company from the inside out, everyone siloed and out of touch.
Comes with the job, been there. However it's not same around the world, there is a massive difference if one is working in Europe vs Middle East.

Would you kindly explain what difference is that?
I try to set boundaries as best I can. I try to always be there for my team as my job is to support them and remove blockers. They typically will go through me to get to our Director, then I will go through our Director to get to our VP. Each has an "open door" policy so we can go direct to any leader, even our CTO, but teams will typically go through their leaders first. As far as availability after hours, my company really drives the work/life balance and wants you to leave work at work and take the time for you and your family when you are outside of typical work hours. So company culture plays a huge part.
I think it’s based on the size of the company too…I’ve been at startups that follow a similar trail of “reachability” and then similar flow at large companies
Depends on the industry. When I was public sector, it was mostly 9-5 M-F. Casino industry they expected availability 24x7x365, even when on PTO/holidays. In between those two, it was emergency response only. Once smart phones became widespread, instant response was expected. Pay was great, but work became life, zero balance.
