Correct, likely to get interview but nothing is guaranteed beyond that

Put it this way, if you have a SP helping you, you should also get access to better case coaching and practice partners

You may get an interview. But getting an offer is based on interview performance

It’s good that you have a senior partner going to bat for you. Depends on the role, tenure level, past creds/YOE/education, and then ofc interview performance.

The interview selection process is intense. Gotta respect they for that.

A former managing partner at McKinsey referred someone we turned down. I was tasked with delivering the news to the former managing partner.

Meritocracy. You actually don’t know that it was a high level referral until AFTER the interview when you debrief and decide on the TD. It removes any potential conflict of interests

Inspired by one of my kids' favorite books, I penned this masterpiece of an Ode to Consulting:

One senior partner all alone
Calls two managing directors on the phone
Three associate partners at the door
Bring along another four
Five senior managers come overdressed
Six managers show up with a guest
Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
Nine analysts come to work
ALL THE CONSULTANTS GO BERSERK!!!

Ok, I'll show myself out now... 😂
