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 But I'm worried about the offer being rescinded due to the ongoing McK scandals/issues and a potential recession in the making (which may prompt them to freeze hiring and/or renege offers).
Has this happened to anyone before at McKinsey, offer getting rescinded due to economic/company downturn?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

Any materials, open source platform recommended to take on freelance data science project? When should I start actively looking and applying?

It’s been a couple years. Could you try again if it’s where you want to be?

Welcome 🤗🤗
OP, you’re not doing yourself any favours by insisting you didn’t get in because you’re better than the interviewers.
I got rejected the first time I applied. Been here now for almost 7 years and I’ve stayed in part because the culture is of people who WANT colleagues that are brilliant and who push them in turn.
We have an unspoken “no d***heads” recruitment policy and if this is the sort of arrogance you’re carrying, you wouldn’t survive our feedback culture anyway.
I guess my post came out the wrong way but that is not what I meant. I was implying that I wish I could have handled the interview process better and given a different direction to the interviews. I am in no way a dickhead or opposed to feedback culture. I just feel unfortunate that my over zealousness gave the impression that I would be difficult to lead when that isn’t the case in reality. I appreciate your thoughts though.
