Hi McK fishes, are there any flex / reduced working hours policy in the London office? Approached for an EM role but am at the life stage where I’m thinking of starting a family and put off by the long hours I’ve been hearing. Is a 4dpw arrangement possible or unheard of? Thank you!

Nightmare as a generalist EM - no partner will want to staff you - but it's a bit easier if you're Expert track or aligned to a solution

Yeah tough at EM level, you'd be expected 5 days a week with the client managing the team.

Thanks both. Are the hours in the London office as bad as what I’ve heard - averaging about 70h a week?

Easily that bad depending on industry etc

Once you’ve applied via referral link to a position, does it keep you in a referral pool or do you need to constantly get a new referral link if you apply to another role say 4 months later? Curious since they only last 30 days and i feel bad asking for a link a 3rd time now…..

McKinsey referral system glitch?

I got a referral from an EM over a month ago. He says my candidate status showed "turned down" immediately following the submission. He suspects it was because the status from my previous application to McKinsey over 2 years ago got pulled into the system automatically. Till now I still haven't received the application link and no recruiter has been assigned. Kind of lost about what to do next.

Cold applied for an awesome role, had an interview with hiring manager, recruiter, and given a pretty hefty assignment that I’m really proud of nailing. They followed up with an email asking for 4-5 days that I am available for a full day of interviews. Gave them 4-5 days, started planning for how I’d get those days off work during insane times at current job, and now not a single word from them to confirm a date. Been over a week now. Sad. Pretty jaded. What can I do? Already followed up

Was approached by a SVP and hiring manager of another IB shop.

We talked, went great, he texted comp range etc. sent me a resume template to use, filled it and sent. He was waiting to hear back from MD, MD got sick.

He took resume to HR actual and said I’d hear from them. Haven’t heard anything week or so later.

Haven’t texted VP much as I don’t want to be creeper but really interested. Not sure how to engage at this point. At some level it seemed like a home run.
