How does the referral system work at McKinsey? Do you need to know a senior employee to get one? Or can Business Analysts at the firm give referrals as well?

If I were a betting man, I’d say a partner referal would guarantee a first round.

How to get a partner’s attention and eventually a referral as an entry level ?

U can get one from a BA, but they don’t rly do anything unless ur gunning for a tiny office. Otherwise, you want PPMD

They mean little. Might get you an interview. Might. But the bar to get in is just the same.

What if you don’t know any partners though?

Sounds about right

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?

I was interviewed for SAP PP role in TCS and cleared all rounds last month on 24th August. Last week (9 sept) there was Salary negotiation and it was also done...

I’m still in my first year at Deloitte as a campus-hire.

Should I wait it out and see? How do I get connected to try different things at the company?

Been since May 23rd that I’ve completed my background check. Called the 3rd party company and they said the background check has been sent to the hiring company for review as of last Friday. Should I wait another day before following up with my recruiter about the status of the background check? I don’t suspect there to be any crazy thing, but I’m just anxious. I’ve just never had a background check take at or over a week. Advice?

Hi all,
I had my technical round scheduled with Capgemini last week. This week I cleared the L1 interview round and HR discussion. Before releasing the offer letter they asked me to submit my documents and sent a link to appear for an AMCAT exam (English grammer and email writting) as part of hiring process . My question is based on AMCAT score is there a possibility that Capgemini would revoke my offer ? Is it an elimination round as they mentioned this a part of Capgemini hiring process?
