Does anyone know what does “consider” status in Sterling background check report mean for McKinsey?

Sterling was unable to verify some of my international work-ex directly from the employer. However, I have provided supporting docs (pays stubs, tax returns).

Would this be a problem ?

Literally going through this right now... Sterling seem pretty useless when it comes to international checks.

It shouldn’t be an issue. My McK background check recently cleared, and I was in a similar situation where Sterling couldn’t reach my former employer to verify my employment status. I provided pay stubs instead so Sterling marked the report “Consider” based on that, but McK quickly reviewed the documents and determined that everything was square.

Thanks , this is helpful.

No, HR will reach out and provide you different ways to verify. Additionally sometimes they won’t care if it’s not too relevant in their eyes

Yeah I had a job where I said I was a chemical engineer and HR just reported me as an engineer and it was flagged as consider. It’s nerve wracking as all get out but I promise you’re likely just fine.

is it ok to omit short term work experience?

When it says pending — does that count as a consider?

In my example, I have a work 401k, and my adjusted gross income is over (or just about hovering) at the 76k limit. This means I can't make pre-tax contributions to a traditional IRA, so I should just go for a Roth?
