I recently got a referral to McK from a 2 yr BA. I work for a boutique firm - 1 YOE, I believe my resume checks out. Can anyone give any insight to my chances of getting a 1st rd interview?

Right now experienced hire recruiting is slowed down until we have a better view of need. That said if you have a referral and your resume checks out I would anticipate an R1 interview, just not tomorrow.

Thanks for the response! I have been and will continue to prep hard - but I just wanted to get a feel for whether or not it was for naught right now. I’ve been prepping with other experienced hires who have upcoming interviews which has given me some hope. Your insight only reinforces that hope, so thanks!

I’d assume the odds are lower given the current situation, but I’d be interested to know they typical odds and/or current odds if anyone has that insight.

Low given the fact that you need to be integrated into a BA class. I imagine the recruiting pipeline outside the campus hires is deprioritised given the circumstances.

A BA referral is good but I don’t see the BA pushing the needle unless it was a Partner referral. I’d wait another 6-12 months to maximise your chances.

Could anyone please share some insights about work at the AI COE at TCS? How's the team and how's overall growth in terms of skills and payscale? Are there any drawbacks of joining AI COE?
