I have an interview with AO but nervous it is a scam and I will get screwed. Help and insight before I potentially make a dumb decision. Is this legit?

What has you concerned that it is a scam?

Biggest red flags to look for are:
- interviews only taking place via text or email, never in-person or virtually with a real human
- an immediate offer of employment following an interview
- planning to send you a check for "equipment" and then you get to keep the rest
- asking you to submit confidential confirmation (social security number, address, date of birth, etc.) prior to an offer
- companies will ask you for the information above to complete a background check and stuff but it should be through a secure portal and most often is through a third party vendor (ADP and First Advantage come to mind).

Not 100% sure, but sounds like American univ. was originally telling students they would have in-person classes, but couldn’t live on campus. Recommended a few places to look for apts for students. So a friend rented an apartment in DC anticipating he would be attending in-person classes at AU. Now AU has cancelled all in-person classes. No claim to break the lease (probably) but thoughts on promissory estoppel vs. AU or anything else?? Thanks

McKinsey & Company How likely is McKinsey to rescind an offer if there's a recession/downturn before my start date? Received an Associate offer with a start date early in the Fall. But I'm worried about the offer being rescinded due to the ongoing McK scandals/issues and a potential recession in the making (which may prompt them to freeze hiring and/or renege offers).

Has this happened to anyone before at McKinsey, offer getting rescinded due to economic/company downturn? A bit worried
