Applied to a Senior Consultant role at Deloitte a month ago, with a referral. My application status has not moved from from “applied and pending review”. Is this normal? For what it’s worth, I’m currently at MCK (non consulting) and do think I’m well qualified. Appreciate any thoughts!

I’ve submitted referrals for individuals before and it was around a month before I saw any status changes for them

Your referrer needs to reach out to the recruiters on the position and nudge them along

Fair. Thank you!

Wait at least 4-5 months. Jk but kinda not kidding

Is it just to switch to consulting from internal? I don't work for either, but in my mind McKinsey would have more clout on a resume than Deloitte - mostly just because Deloitte has a ton of employees and it's fairly common to see (regardless of application/acceptance ratio). Can you not switch within McKinsey?

A couple of reasons I am considering this, but yes the main one is to switch to client facing/consulting from internal. BCG1 is correct. It’s really difficult to make this kind of switch in MBB. I am not so concerned with resume clout anymore since I’ve been with McKinsey for a few years now.

Mine sat for a month then “in review” for a month then “application closed” lol

Their process is hot garbage imo

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?

I’ve been seeing all of the Instagram and Linked In posts from agencies in town showing their “commitment to transparency in hiring” and to hire more minorities in light of the BLM movement. I knew the numbers were bad, but holy shit, not THAT bad.
It’s infuriating to me, as a POC how many fucking times I applied, emailed and reached out to so many of these agencies without getting even the time of day.
I’ll believe their supposed commitments, when I actually see the results.
