McKinsey & Company Does level and/or office matter for referrals at McKinsey & Company? A friend is willing to refer at the Associate level in my target office though I did not get any traction w/ the referral last year. I'm a Veteran so I also recognize there may be a resume translation issue despite the prior version getting me interviews with BCG and Bain. I have updated the resume since - though still wondering if there's anything else I can do to strengthen my case. Thank you in advance for any advice.

Depends on company. If you have some software installed specifically for tracking then don't. But if its not there (general case), then don't use Google Chrome for personal activities because in most cases it is tracked by your organization. You can use Brave or Firefox for personal browsing. I also used my company laptop for all my interviews and I did not get any notice or warning.

I have done that zillion times and once with my company's virtual background on (by mistake).
Even after all of this, I continued to work with the same firm for 2 more years.
Nothing happens, if they really don't want you to do such things, they would block those sites.
So enjoy.

I am not sure about every firm but in my firm, things that are not allowed, are blocked.
For eg. You cannot upload anything anywhere, it won't happen. You cannot send email to external email IDs without exception request. You cannot install free extensions to IDEs - won't work.
While you can watch hotstar, prime, netflix, youtube, twich, discovery+, sonyliv, etc.
Its a big Fintech.
Oh ya, and in my previous firm, I gave interviews for startups from meeting rooms, in office from office laptop. It was pre-covid time.
Once a teammate, who came from WITCH and has been in the firm for 8 years told me that zoom calls are monitored and you should be careful of conversations. I just smiled and said, oh is it 🙂

I have always given all of my interviews on my office laptop. Tbh I even do job search on my office laptop.
People do it. Just don't get caught
Even if you do, make sure to join interviews with personal email IDs and not from your office IDs.
NO YOU CANNOT, They install Zscalar to apply company policies and that restricts websites which are not relevant and not as per policies.
Also company tracks the work as that is send by organization only.
Everything will be fine till no one get it, if it comes under security audit
Believe me your life become hell even if you leave that company they can sue you and take actions, I suggest not to go that way just bother your brother instead of your life.
True that

Nope, but it depends on the company. In my honest opinion, never do anything in company property which includes a laptop. Everything in corporate is recorded even if you don't see it.
Haha. Never ever. I don't even open my personal email on my company's laptop. Almost all companies have keyloggers installed I've heard.
Yeah why let them know so much of your personal info.
Where you are applying, who sent you what mail etc.
I was almost got terminated due to similar kind of incident, I accidently uploaded some company property to my Gmail account. Those were the most fearful times of my life. I will request everyone not to do this because nobody know when and where will you end up.
Did you just upload it, or sent it to another id?
Chief
Dont do this man companies have policies against this, why risk your life with an unethical practice?
You would be video calling other company and this could be taken under security breach and you could be losing you job for mere interview.
You can use you mobile if no coding would be required and if coding would be required just ask from your brother for laptop for sometime, its totally ok(He's your brother, tell him you have some work mail to send or some documentation (If you dont want to tell you are giving interviews)
I have all interviews using company laptop. Used gmail as well
Nothing happened
Oh you genius. You and Infosys are meant to be

Bhai bindaas interviews do. Kch nahin hta. 🤘🏻
I don't even own a personal laptop, always use office one, so ya you can. Just dont login to team/zoom from your official id while interviews 😜
yes you can, shouldn't be an issue
Well many people do use company laptop and use personal IDs. But I never do that as it can anytime be a problem since every activity of yours is tracked and logged.
You can open gmail (dont upload anything), youtube, naukri.com, LinkedIn but do not give interviews. Because you might need to share your screen as well and once you share your screen you are violating the security, who knows whether you are sharing screen for giving interview or giving a sneak peek of your client's code. You can land into big trouble.
Interesting question
I had given all the interviews from office laptop only but I make sure to logout from mail, teams or any company provided software before starting interview.
Don't do it. Depending on company policy it may be grounds for termination it they find out.
It depends if your company allows google login, so far mine won't allow n it gets notified to them which site I am accessing. And as per company policy, it would be a policy violation.
I use my mobile for interviews. Teams and Zoom app works well in my iPhone.
You should not use office laptop for interviews. But yes, if u do not have any option, u can go for it.
