In a webinar with McKinsey they said there is no need to have a cover letter for BA - Post Undergrad role. Can anyone attest to this here or other companies? Thank you!

Yes, if they said no they mean no. I recruited with them at my school.

Cover letter needed only if you need to provide an explanation about something that might raise questions on your resume (e.g. gaps in work, low GPA, etc)

Yeah typically its not read

Would being a non-target student change anything?

I actually find a lot of value in reading cover letters - so many applicants can’t write

Also side note - what is this webinar for the BA - Post Undergrad role? Can you speak to process?

@OP can confirm when I was recruiting a few years ago via Bschool, was explicitly told not to submit cover letter at McK. This was for both undergrad and MBA levels.

The recruiters rarely forward cover letters, but totally agree with D1. It’s a good opportunity to evaluate their writing

We give the same direction on campus. There was a time when the unwritten rule was: Bain cares a lot about cover letter; BCG and McKinsey don’t. I think all 3 of is direct discourage it now

Hi fishes,
I am currently working as a Data Science Analyst in Amex and would like to make a switch to Fraud detection/Credit risk modelling in future.(not in a hurry but would like to start preparing for the same)
How should I go about preparing for it? Is MBA the only course?
My current tech stack is Python, Pyspark, Hive, SQL, ML, DL(specifically NLP based). I have already done MS in CS from IIT Kgp.
I am confused mainly cause the tech stack requirement is similar to my role in the company.
