On campus if you want consistency and are a solid candidate. Alumni if you’re a weaker candidate and want the luck of the draw. Good luck

I really really want to work for McK and have put in a lot of effort to research and prepare.. so I don’t want to give up yet.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

Hey ,I applied 3 weeks ago to Bank of America with a decent resume and referral. But still did not heard back.Need a human eye who is willing to check my application and help me moving to the next step?@BankofAmerica
