McKinsey & Company I did my final round with McKinsey today, and I I received a rejection call from the partner today. However, he said I did really great and wants to keep in touch with me. He also mentioned that I should reapply in 6 months. Does anyone have any similar experience? Do I have a better chance if I reapply next time?McKinsey & Company

I have also recently cleared all interview rounds in TCS & HR Shared 'Salary Breakup'. Still, my status in the iBegin portal is not changing from 'Evaluation in Progress' to 'Evaluated' & so on, even after uploading all required documents. They had initiated the process 2 times, 1st on 16th Nov and 2nd on 24th. Please let me know, how long it will take to release the final offer letter. Thanks

The statute of limitations (SOL) has probably tolled. Nonetheless, it does not prevent you from a few challenging avenues for recourse.
File a lawsuit. Personally serve the complaint with an offer of settlement. If the offer is rejected, send a copy of the complaint to the newspaper and senior management at the firm. When the Answer is filed and moves to dismiss due to SOL, concede. You might be on the hook for attorney’s fees / costs, but it’ll be public.
Look into exceptions to SOL for sexual assaults. Argue they apply. Send your paperwork to your local legislator with a cover letter advocating the SOL she be amended for sexual assaults so perpetrators are NEVER free from consequences for their actions. Feel free to let the news know this is an amendment to SOL law worth pursuing.
File a complaint with the state bar. Advance the same exceptions arguments to SOL based upon sexual assaults and maintaining the integrity of the profession.
Draft a complaint. Don’t file it. Send a letter to Management at the firm. Attach the complaint. Tell them in the letter the SOL has tolled, but the problem lawyer really did this, is still there, and unless / until something is done, this is proof of NOTICE that him repeating this conduct is FORESEEABLE against any future claims brought against the firm.
Condolences this happened to you. My wife HATED being an attorney because so many male lawyers were such misogynistic narcissists impervious to justice because there were the same no talent assclowns sitting on the bench excusing reprehensible behavior.
May the force be with you ~
This is interesting on several levels and I'm sure there are some ways in which this is achievable and/or sensible advice with the following caveats.
First, from my understanding "Tolling" of an SOL means when it's not running (suspended from running out), which is distinct from your usage (you are trying to say it has run, from what i gather). Maybe I misread, and don't mean to be pedantic but there's a lot of nuance to this issue and your suggested plan of action, which makes the apparently overlooked distinction potentially problematic imo.
Second, while you probably can raise likely invalid but perhaps colorable legal claims while still availing yourself of the litigation privilege to defamation, I doubt that you can do so while admitting the nonviability of your legal claim. (I'm not discounting that "truth" would otherwise immunize you from that angle, it's just not the only angle and establishing truth is still murky).
I suspect the outcome/goal suggested above is still possible, but I caution that it's probably not as straightforward as suggested above and that there's layers of nuance (and/or ptential risks) not taken into account by the above advice/game plan. **obviously not legal advice
Glassdoor review! Blast that name, he deserves it. I’m in Houston and would love to know who it is.
Do not put any guilt on yourself for anything you did or didn’t do. It’s a shock when it happens and when you look around and see no one intervening to call him on it, that’s just the worst feeling. You should have never been put in that position.
I worked BigLaw where a male partner routinely and openly harassed women and complaints had been made and the response was to move the women because he brought in a lot of big money work. It’s despicable. They lost a lot of good young up and coming female attorneys, and the worst part is that his reputation preceded him before they hired him! People knew. Just gross negligence and you bet your ass if any woman ever sues I’ll speak up for her.

You have a voice and will be heard. Do not drop it. You can start with a strongly worded letter from your own employment attorney which states what actions you will take if a settlement is not reached. Just be careful with opening yourself up to any malicious prosecution claims.
Definitely speak with an attorney experienced with representing plaintiffs in sexual harassment cases.
Another angle could be to watch for possible defamation claims against him. If he denies wrongdoing and then attacks your credibility on Glassdoor, for example, that could give you an opening to say he’s defaming you and allow you to essentially litigate the underlying civil assault claim.
You can go to therapy.
