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?
