Is it normal practice for McKinsey to email you to chat, you provide a few times and never hearing a response back from the recruiter? Why did they reach out in the first place?

Honestly it depends on the recruiter. I’ve worked with a McK recruiter who was super responsive and supportive. Meanwhile I have a close friend who had terrible experiences with another McK recruiter who never responded to emails and all that.

That’s great to hear! I ended up choosing BCG for the people and culture. DM if any other questions you may have. Good luck!

I got told I passed my first round interviews two Fridays ago and am supposed to have my final rounds this coming Friday. Haven’t heard a peep from the recruiter despite me emailing him a couple of times, so… 🤷‍♂️

Hello Fishes, its really strange to ask but I have no option left.
I have almost 2 years of gap in my career due to medical issues, but not its recovered and I am trying to rejoin again. I applied to so many places but has been seeing only rejections either due to gap and either due to my over qualification.
I am truly tired of applying and waiting for their call back and reverts, Its like getting into depression slowly slowly.
Is their any place where I can get hired soon. Please help me.

Hi,

Is it fine to call a HR if he's not answering. I have my HR discussions pending.

I called him once a day (twice on 2nd day with a gap of 4-5hrs in between)
for two days straight and third day he picked my call for scheduling the final interview.

It's been a week & he told I would receive a call from his team before today, but didn't receive.

Can I call him to remind or just keep on waiting till I receive a call from them.

Getting a reply for mail is highly unlikely. Please suggest

I recently applied for a position in one of McKinsey’s recently acquired firm for Senior Software Engineer (Team Lead).

Wondering if this is a red flag.
