If this is for a consultant role, there is no such thing as a “recruiting manager”. You’re hired into the firm and then change Engagement managers with each project.

The firm took 5 months to respond to my application btw. Hang tight

thanks, the wait is brutal 🫠

If you really wanted to expedite things, search McKinsey recruiters on linked in and message one of them. If your profile is good, they’ll immediately help you.

You applied and nobody responded for a month? Then you have the answer. Hundreds of people apply for jobs, recruiters cannot respond to all applicants especially if the answer is no.

You need to network. It's always more about who you know than your application

Hi, I did interview with amazon.

Round 1: HR round. cleared.

Round 2: Hiring manager round. Went well.

After 2 weeks they said Role no longer available. It was L5 supply chain role. This happened in April. Can I apply again in Amazon? I joined a company 3 months ago, does it look bad in CV to leave again in 3 months? I hv a 6 month gap in career in 2019 due to lay off (covid). total exp 9 yrs. SCM exp 6 yrs.

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
