I applied for multiple roles at McKinsey (Business Analyst, Associate, Junior Associate), and completed the Solve assessment on Feb 11. Today, I received a rejection email (in Spanish), but my job portal shows Business Analyst and Associate (Feb 16) as "Submitted", while the other applications are marked "Closed."

I had selected U.S. locations as my top preferences but don’t have U.S. work authorization. Could this have led to my rejection, even if my resume and Solve performance were strong?

Why are you applying for 3 different levels? What is your current level of experience?

Did you get a referral?

And yes having no work authorization would definitely impact your application - they effectively cannot consider you for your preferred office.

It feels like you have been applying in a silo without connecting with people who know how McKinsey works.

They said withdraw all of your current applocations and re-apply with the desired locations. I did that, and after this i haven't hear anything from them. Also, i didn't het any updates on my Solve Assessment, and since its already been more than 2 weeks now, i'm assuming that i'm already out. Though I'm applying for all the consultancies firms across all the tiers, and preparing for case interviews (assuming if i get a chance to land up a few interviews), but as of now nothing in my bucket. Thanks for asking mate.

Create a new email id update your cv with new email id ask for referral on linkedi.. nobody responds here from mck..

Yes, seems like everybody is too occupied

contd.

Does McKinsey automatically consider candidates for other locations suitable for them (e.g., in my case 'India'), or should I reach out to the recruitment team for request consideration.
