I’ve applied to McKinsey/Tier 2 firms all with referrals, but I haven’t been hearing back for weeks. Should I take this as a rejection, or is hiring just slowing down and I should assume they’ll get back to me in the later months? How long is the wait typically?

You may have noticed that the economy isn't doing well right now.

Take a deep breath. Most firms are still hiring, but are moving slowly and limiting how many.

I am getting a little impatient with a recruiter who feels like she has been ghosting me. I need to make another decision with a company by tomorrow but have not heard back from this other company since I’ve interviewed last Monday. I updated her on my timeline and she hasn’t emailed me back. I have her number from when she initially called me. Would it be bad to just give her a call?
