McKinsey & Company I’m supposed to be working with a recruiter for a role opening at McKinsey & Company and he had last said the hiring manager was looking at my resume, but I haven’t heard back in the past almost 30 days (and yes, emailed 2x within that timeframe). What should I do?

I’d assume there wasn’t a mutual interest to move fwd

In my experience, when recruiters reach out to me for a role for which I’m a solid fit, things moved pretty quickly

That said, maybe I’m too passive when it comes to this stuff 🤷‍♂️

The recruiter (if good) should provide a status of the opportunity .. taking that aside often in consulting there could be a delay in the potential client contract signing for which the position was relevant and offer can't go out until contract is signed .. or the client opportunity went to another consulting firm and position is no longer available. Regardless, IMO, after 30 days of no contact would suggest dropping it and look for opportunities at another firm.

No interest. At least, the recruiter should have communicated that to you.

What role is this and which office?

Is it a client facing role? Never heard of “hiring manager” term for generalist/ expert hires. Guess likely it’s low key hiring freeze for experienced hire.

Nonetheless, you’ve done what you’re supposed to be and it’s December so people are taking it slow. Usually no interviews are conducted in December.

Transactional associate. Lateraled 6 months ago and one of the biggest pain points has been my new firm’s inclination to “hop on a call”, which of course requires every single stakeholder to join. The end result being every call has 25 people on it and nothing actually gets done because no one wants to ask a question that could come off as silly. It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.
