A BCG recruiter ghosted me after she reached out to schedule an interview. How long should I wait before following up? What is the common courtesy to give to ppl at BCG. I don’t wanna come off as too aggressive but I really need to get this interview set as there are other pending confirmations Boston Consulting Group

McKinsey & Company Does working at a McKinsey subsidiary or specialist practice open doors similar to working in generalist consulting there? Examples include Orpheus, Finalta, QuantumBlack and other acquired companies. Can you work there for 1-2 years and benefit from a halo effect that helps you enter industry more easily?

Realize it varies, but what have people seen in terms of time between application and offer or how flexible companies are with start dates?
6 weeks on average maybe. Longer if you are more senior
My experience in tech for time from initial contact with recruiter to offer letter is about a month and they’ve been flexible on start dates. I’d say as long as you’re upfront on timing (recruiter will most likely ask this during screening interview) it shouldn’t be a problem at all. When it comes down to it, if they like you as a candidate, they’ll work with you. If they don’t, you should probably avoid that company anyhow
Be careful. If you leave within a certain time after parental leave you may be responsible to pay some of it back. Policies vary
