Hey, recruiter from McKinsey reached out re: interview times but when I replied I got an auto reply that the mail of wasn’t being monitored...

Is this normal / do I make sure the recruiter for my reply?

Doesnt this mean they’re probably out of the office for a bit?

How long did it take for you to get an email from them after you submitted an application?

Doesn’t seem normal based on my experience. I have my recruiting contact and then they had the other admins send the actual emails to confirm times, etc. and all were with their regular McKinsey emails and not an automated mailbox. I’d definitely reach out to confirm.

This happened to me yesterday. How did you end up resolving the issue? I gave it a night to see if the recruiter would respond in the morning (I sent my response after 5 pm EST), but I haven't yet received any updates. I just sent a message via the McKinsey contact page, and my final contingencies are InMail on LinkedIn or emailing the recruiter using the standard first.last@mckinsey.com format. I’m very interested in this position and am following up in case my earlier message wasn’t accepted, but I want to avoid faux pas that makes me look high-maintenance or overbearing. Any advice?
