McKinsey & Company A third party recruiter contacted me about a role at McKinsey & Company and submitted my resume and info. Head hunter confirmed McKinsey wants to interview me, but it has been 3 weeks and no word from McKinsey or any additional update from the head hunter besides “they should be reaching out”. Is this normal or should I move on? For background, I’ve been stalling the interview process with a fin tech startup.

Tell the headhunter you’re progressing with another company. Maybe the thought of missing out on his commission might get him to move things along.

That’s the approach I took this morning thinking that I’m likely a nice check for him. We will see.

Are you sure it wasn’t a position at McKinsey & Co Total Landscaping?

Just ask the head hunter…

I have, touch base once a week. He just says “they will reach out”.

Did you pay anything?

I wasn’t implying you had been scammed. But ZS had a valid question and I wouldn’t be surprised if folks were scamming people on LI with the allure of MBB offers.

Does McKinsey do head hunters ? Is this for a special role ?

Couldn’t you directly reach out to the company? I don’t see any harm

You should never be holding off on other opportunities because of one that presents itself. Things fall through all the time. You should be pleasantly surprised if they contact you, not banking on it. Fwiw there are a lot of recruiting scams right now.

Just one data point, but the McK HR person who initially was handling my application was initially super flaky, she was a no-show for 4 (!) scheduled phone screen interviews. I’m assuming she’s very busy at the moment. But then they assigned me to a person who seems to be an offshore contractor and the process has been super smooth since then, just finished the first round of interviews and waiting to hear back.

Thank you for the insight!

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
