I have a full-time offer from a strategy consulting (not MBB) in a different city than where I live. I really want to stay where I am currently living while doing strategy work and the only firm here is McKinsey. Went through recruit in September and didn’t get an offer but I heard they are currently on a hiring spree. I was wondering if I should apply again and if I should, would someone be willing to chat and send a referral for me?

I think our cool down period is a year. That’s probably googleable

FYI we travel a ton, especially if you’re based out of a city where fewer businesses are (likely true if no other firms are there). And “you’re the only consulting firm here” isn’t a very strong “why McKinsey?” answer, so might want to work on your story before networking/applying

Can confirm the cooldown is a year from when they de-activate your application.

Hey. Sorry I didn’t mean it like that. I have my reasons why but the main motivator for McKinsey from my end is that I would like to stay home. I understand that the firm travels for work but I’d like to stay close to my family at least for weekends as my parents are getting old and their health is in decline

No no. I appreciate the feedback! Is it possible to chat offline and hear about your experiences at McKinsey?

Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?

I'm in salary negotiations for a great role, but there's a small gap (~$10k) to even match my old salary. They have most of the obvious benefits like unlim. vacation, low healthcare premiums, 401k matching, permanent WFH, etc.

Right now, severance pkg. and a more senior title are most important. Has anyone negotiated a title bump? Outcome?

Are there additional benefits I should also consider?
