Faced this weird behaviour from Optum recently. Gave interview for Data Scientist position. HR said feedback is positive. Asked for documents. It's been month now since I have shared the documents. I have no update on the offer. Today I called HR, she called me back saying the position is on hold due to recalibration in team, She has shared interview feedbacks to other teams and will get back to me in couple of days. I am clueless now. My last working day is approaching (In a month). Any Help??

McKinsey & Company Does level and/or office matter for referrals at McKinsey & Company? A friend is willing to refer at the Associate level in my target office though I did not get any traction w/ the referral last year. I'm a Veteran so I also recognize there may be a resume translation issue despite the prior version getting me interviews with BCG and Bain. I have updated the resume since - though still wondering if there's anything else I can do to strengthen my case. Thank you in advance for any advice.

Understand McKinsey frameworks
Good luck! Make sure your behavioral is solid...I know they emphasize that a lot
PEI (all you need to know is on the website) & frameworks that work for you. IMO the practice cases are very helpful to use as a starting point for prep. Be yourself, remember that you’re a human, and good luck!
Agree with C1 - your behavioral must be solid. Above the general cases & PEI remember to keep your confidence. Make sure you have a strong rationale behind your decisions, be prepared to answer “are you sure?” questions esp towards final round.
Speaking from personal experience (I landed a job at McK once despite my display*)
GOOD LUCK!
*BCG 🐠 i love you
EY1, no one suggested confidence=Intelligence, but yes that's the whole point of confidence in this context
How many cases have you done? I have an upcoming interview for the same role and I’m down to case together
Somebody sent me a message about this post and I accidentally clicked ignore! If you did it pls do it again so I can reply appropriately!
Focus on your PEI!
