Does EY send any goodies pre-hire?
McKinsey & Company Has Mckinsey met BA headcount quota for the year/did they freeze hiring? I interviewed and got to last round last year, and applied again with a referral two months ago but haven’t heard anything from recruiting. Last year I heard back within 1 month of referral drop. I would’ve thought with my 1 more year of experience I should be able to get an interview easily.🥲 McKinsey & Company

Did a black turtle neck for MF PE interviews (landed an offer). Did dress shirt for the first round but the power dynamic felt off / awkward when all the interviewers were in relaxed clothing and I was all preppy

Definitely be more relaxed than a dress shirt. My interviewers have been in polos and shirts. Just look presentable
Dress shirt. Would you wear a polo to a real interview??
I made a point to ask the recruiter before meeting team members. Wore a button down but had one MD who was “formal” so I threw on a blazer as well. Doesn’t hurt to ask!

Patagonia vest over dress shirt
Official communication said choice of business or business casual. To be on the safe side I wore a dress shirt and tie in 1 of 2 of my virtual first round. Interviewer jokingly told me to unbutton my shirt and loosen my tie, which I did in jest. Interviewer 2 of 2 was in a T-shirt, commented favorably that he liked my “relaxed professional” look. 🤷♂️ Clearly there is a disconnect between what HR is telegraphing and what interviewers are expecting. Btw, I did not wear a tie in the final round, and ended up getting an offer.
