Strategy& fish - i’m currently recruiting for org strategy. Ive talked to associates (in the healthcare practice) and theyve mentioned that it doesnt matter whether youre in corp strategy, org strategy, etc and that you’re pretty much pooled by industry when it comes to staffing.
Can someone confirm this? Also, what do you expect the restructuring to look like?
Happy Thursday y’all

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!
