McKinsey & Company Has Mckinsey met BA headcount quota for the year/did they freeze hiring? I interviewed and got to last round last year, and applied again with a referral two months ago but haven’t heard anything from recruiting. Last year I heard back within 1 month of referral drop. I would’ve thought with my 1 more year of experience I should be able to get an interview easily.🥲 McKinsey & Company

I was in ID for 6 months and jumped into patent lit. It’s an uphill battle, but if you have a science background, you’ll have a better shot. Feel free to DM me if you’d like to know more.
I just made a similar move. I’ve been in practice for 2.5 years. Went from Plaintiffs PI work to IP lit. You really need to push whatever litigation experience you have. Litigation is litigation. I think you are still early enough on that they won’t hold the ID stuff against you. I went to a mid size firm that is paying below market, but I figured I can get the experience and then move into a market paying firm.
A1 they really dove into my lit experience. I’ve had motion practice and depo experience. I’ve also had experience with federal court which they liked. Whatever hands on lit experience you’ve had, I would highlight that in your resume and in an interview. And, if you are in the process of looking, I would continue to get us much lit experience you can and just keep updating your resume.
I did take a class year cut considering I don’t have any experience in IP but I was fine with that.
I’d love to retool into one of the more interesting litigation fields. 7th year, spent 4 years as an oil and gas title attorney and have been doing real estate, commercial and estate/fiduciary litigation for about 3 years.
IP lit def seems like an emerging practice area with lots of novel concepts and big damages at stake.
