Anyone have any tips on applying to a posted role at McKinsey (and getting an actual non automated response from a recruiter)? Not Ivy League.

I got lucky once by applying to 10 positions in a single day. Caught the recruiter's attention. She reached out and told me that she saw so many applications submitted by me that she decided to screen my resume. #BruteForceAlgorithm

MIT/Stanford/many others aren't Ivy League so that's a stupid thing to say

OP: Send me your resume at atkdigitalfish@gmail.com. Can try forwarding to the recruiter I know at McK.

@c2 clearly OP meant not Ivy League tier. Reading comprehension includes meaning and intent, not just semantics

like

@D1 it's better to be clear and put out what you want to say rather than depend on others ability to interpret your intent. Makes your life (and others) much easier. Try it :)

Agree ^

The other option is employee referral.

@C1 - don't know anyone at McKinsey unfortunately

I had applied to a data analytics related role a year ago. Got a phone screen from the recruiter. But never heard back from her later.
Also it doesn't really matter if you're Ivy league or not. What truly matters is your skill set

Geez guys no need to fight. Just asking how to get to McK. Thanks @C1 will take you up on that.

Kudos C1 - fish helping fish

Hope it works for you OP, I have thus far struck out everytime I've tried :(
