I bet if bcg won’t take you the crooks at McKinsey would love to have you!

I say this in jest and to keep the mood light, but I feel like this is how McKinsey recruiters are reading this post:

BCG is already filled with Boozebags, Criminals, and Gamblers.

The bigger question is why were you out when there’s a global pandemic?

Was arrested this Friday with a misdemeanor charge, essentially public intoxication. Lawyer says the charge should be dropped and I should likely be able to get it expunged. My biggest concern is that my BCG background check is happening this week. Other than dealing with my lawyer is there anything else I can do? What are the odds they revoke my offer. I’m terrified my future is in jeopardy for a silly mistake. I know misdemeanors typically aren’t a huge deal to employers but I am really freaking out.

You have not been found guilty of anything yet. If arrested over the wknd and the case has not even gone to court yet I doubt anything will show up in the background check.

When you get in, can you refer me?

What did u do? Spill the beans

Just tell them if a McK partner can sell opioids to America, a public intoxication should not bother bcg. You’ll land on your feet one way either way. No point in freaking out.

Don’t worry it’s not on your record yet. Do pay to have the lawyer fight it. Besides consultants, we love a good rowdy drunk. Don’t worry Op you’ll be fine.

You’re fine. Was charged with marijuana possession which was expunged and there was 0 issue

Even if you are charged you will be fine.

Nobody cares, you’ll be fine. Even if it comes up in a background check, what they’re looking for is fraud. Not a single DUI.

I was in a similar situation. I actually went to jail for my DUI, came back, no issues with work.

Also: I’m not white (which is probably why I went to jail for a week despite spending $20k+ on my defense).

You’ll be fine. Great points above. Now tell us what happened! In a few years this will be a great goofy story (provided you didn’t hurt anyone!)

like

You’ll be fine!! Don’t sweat it. I was a wreck in college and got arrested three times (all booze related whoops) and still landed with B4. They’re not looking for misdemeanors, they’re trying to figure out if you’re a felon

like

Misdemeanor nothing. And you aren't convicted

Don’t say anything to anyone. It will not show up in your background check. It will when you apply for your next job - so put your head down and aim for partner track.

Expunged = 0 disclosures except for gov’t entities / banks. Even still, dropped charge / low severity misdemeanor doesnt matter

Don’t worry about it, when I worked in a big 4 pretty much everyone at every career level you can think of has a past/present/future DUI and nothing happens. You do gotta pay that lawyer though for the best possible outcome.
