Recruiters can screen you out but typically can’t screen you in on their own. There will be a group of consulting staff also reviewing.

Is this for campus or alternative recruiting?

Best bet off campus will be networking in and getting a referral. Recruiters are pretty focused with OCR operations.

I have applied for a Generalist Associate role at McKinsey, and the recruiter came back to me offering instead to interview for an "Associate, Marketing & Sales" position. I don't exactly understand what that entails. Could anyone give me information on the difference Generalist vs. Marketing & Sales? Will I still be performing strategy work?

I interviewed for Data Analyst role at EY, it went well and the job sounds great, but I'm a bit hesitant to leave PwC because I really like the firm and I'm just 8 months in my job as an associate at a subgroup of ITS that has some focus on technology and analytics but it's mostly tax compliance.

I do want to transition to data analytics but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go to another big 4, or maybe just look for a position in industry.

Any advice or similar experience?

Background check question. Had a grad school project on my resume with a company. Project was 8 months work with company and 3 months of prep training. This was considered a volunteer role and I have no W2s or anything associated.

On my BGC I listed the 11 months listed above. My previous resume listed this under my education, so I never had exact dates. Grad school was several years back.

Q1 is this kosher to list 11 months?
Q2 anything I should do to clarify?
