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 😁

I am relatively new to consulting space. I worked with Deloitte in a research role, but have joined an MBB firm at a more front end role.
I have a slightly unconventional question to ask (might be political too), but since this is an anon platform, I hope to get honest answers.

Anyone willing to give a referral for a McKinsey?

Is it true at McK that your bonus is just added to your salary for the next year?

I am hearing that MBB is pausing majority of the interviews - should I be worried about my offer getting rescinded? I luckily got my offer a few months ago and received my signing bonus already.

Is it worth making the time/money investment to make the switch from big 4 FDD to MBB. This would require getting into and paying for a top MBA program and my net worth would be way negative after that. Are the MBB financial returns worth it? Im 26 years old for reference

What could have happened?? I also know some people how interviewed on the same day as mine and got a rejection email today.

What is the perception of a McKinsey solution role that is a CSP? Can I exit to tech? Would the role be better than the T2 role I have now?
