For people who have moved from India to the US, how different was the experience? I'm a software engineer. I want to know your feelings about differences in company culture, interviewing, and processes among other things.

It was a culture shock but got used to it after while. Theres already a judgement for being a foreigner so on top of that I have had to work twice as hard.

You must have had conversations with your friends from other companies. Is it the same experience for them too? Does it not depend on company's work culture? Just curious

I was accepted with open arms. Company culture has actually been a bit better. The interview process was quite long and I didn't get an offer for almost 4 weeks, and then another 3 weeks of logistic things before making the move. But it has been great

McKinsey referral system glitch?

I got a referral from an EM over a month ago. He says my candidate status showed "turned down" immediately following the submission. He suspects it was because the status from my previous application to McKinsey over 2 years ago got pulled into the system automatically. Till now I still haven't received the application link and no recruiter has been assigned. Kind of lost about what to do next.
