McKinsey BA here who decided to randomly start taking interviews in December/Jan and ended up getting an offer. Unsure when exactly the cycle is but it felt like I was the only one recruiting. It's doable!

Off cycle hire here as well. You’ll be fine. Large portion of consultants are sways off cycle, funds that hire consultants will hold a few spots knowing you guys aren’t ready now

Same as McK1 I did offcycle in Jan. Run your own race.

I’m old - few years ago.

I'm the only woman on my team in the lab, and all my male colleagues told me today they just assumed I would handle getting our boss's Christmas gift and card together. They thought once I had everything they could just sign the card, and that would be it. What's the best way to explain that this isn't cool without coming off naggy? If we drew sticks or something I'd be fine, but this feels lowkey sexist. Thoughts?
