Hey McKinsey Fish! Is there any real luck of applying to a job on the website? I applied to an implementation role that I know I would be qualified for but without any referral. Been a few weeks so was just hoping to atleast see a rejection 😁

Responding to LinkedIn InMail - Yay or Nay

I was recently contacted by a recruiter via LinkedIn with a cookie cutter template. Thing is, the content is spot on for the type of position I would jump ship for.

Right now I have excited upcoming projects in my current role. If I were to exit in the future, it would be for exactly what the recruiter is offering me.

If I respond back with gratitude and to see if I can contact her in the future, am I stepping on my own feet & wasting her time?

Going on a much needed vacation in a couple weeks and thinking about leaving my firm in the few months for a PE role. What’s the best way to start connecting with PE firms?

Should I reconnect with people for “casual” chats or just keep talking to recruiters?

Can anyone explain the value of a recruiter if you are consistently locating and sending them relevant job postings? They are always lovely to speak with but I’m wondering if it is better to just apply directly via a firm’s website? I understand that firms have to pay recruiters a not insignificant sum for placements and want to remain competitive when applying. Thoughts?

Im applying for jobs as I wind down maternity leave - planning on taking an extra month or so before having to put my baby girl in daycare. And as I’m looking at roles I’m realizing my parameters are much stricter than before. WFH, little to no travel required, at least $30k more than I make now, reasonable working hours. Part of me feels like I’ll be held back by this, but I also can’t imagine working like I did before when I’m responsible for a whole other human and I love being with her. Cont

Met with my boss today and was told “well you’re way better at your job than we expected...so keep doing that and just that. We might be able to have some more interesting work for you to do in 2-3 years”.

Meanwhile...I am BORED TO TEARS!!!!!! And it’s tempting to quit, but I make more money than both of my parents combined EVER have, we had zero layoffs during COVID, and I really do love the people.

At the end of the day...I guess I’m just hear to vent and to see if I’m the ONLY one.

What helps you to stay grounded after feeling frustrated with work?

I want to have double titles at the top of my slides - one which is the short description (eg. "Company Overview" or "Q4 Projections") and a longer sentence-style title (eg. "Here's the 'so-what.' Our new product sucks, and that's why no one is buying it. ") How can I have two title cases in the template, in the slide master? I tried using a Footer + Title. I want both to be placeholders (“click to add title”)

What should I expect from a phone screening at McKinsey for lateral analyst application? I’ve heard about a phone case but the recruiter only mentioned discussing the role and my background (generalist analyst if that matters)
