McKinsey & Company Applied for a business analyst role at McKinsey. A recruiter reached out to me for a 1:1/recruiter chat. Is this a normal part of the interview process? Can you let me know what to explain for this call and what the steps are of the interview process as a whole? Looking forward to hearing your answers. McKinsey & Company

I had a McK recruiter phone screen on a Thursday afternoon and was told I was moving onto the first round the next morning. So it can be quick!

A1 is just messing with you. The 1:1 chat is just to get a better sense of your background and what you put on your resume.

I’m not sure about the game aspect from my understanding experienced hires do not have to do the game

Recent experienced hire here - This step is a very common screening of resume to just get more info on your background. Following that will proceed with 1) phone case interview 2) formal case interview process

I was told during the resume screening call

Take it seriously though, if the recruiter finds this a good fit they’d accelerate your process. I believe this call is key to converting.

Hey ZSers,

I have been selected into ZS for the BTAC role under CCM(Customer-Centric Marketing). My YOE is 3.8 in Cognizant, and the domain is ETL, DW, cloud(AWS).

My question is, ZS is giving a great package compared to what I have in Cognizant (Above 100% hike), and Cognizant is ready to retain me by giving somewhere 50%-60% hike. Will ZS be a good choice for me to switch? In terms of growth, technologies, work, pay. Or should I accept what cognizant is giving and get retained?

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise.
