Hello,

I applied for a position in McKinsey and Company. My application status in the job portal "Submitted - In Progress". I haven't received a call from the recruiter, nor have I received an email about an interview. I haven't received a rejection email as well. Is this a routine recruitment process? Should I expect an interview call??

Any suggestions? Thank you

OMG EY, please stop panicking like that.
It’s pretty explanatory: « in progress » means they have opened it and are looking at it. Submitted means received but not opened.
Some offices work in batches so check if the case to see when you could get an answer.
If you cannot deal with uncertainty by doing basic research and assumptions even after some time at a big 4, I would seriously question if I can hack it in consulting.
