No. You should grab dinner just because this is a contact your should value. (S)he’ll prob pay because they’re more senior and might have earned a bonus themself. Also, if you referred a current colleague, you really don’t want a bonus for this one. That’s a pretty bad look to get paid for funneling employees away from your current employer

McKinsey & Company How likely is McKinsey to rescind an offer if there's a recession/downturn before my start date? Received an Associate offer with a start date early in the Fall. But I'm worried about the offer being rescinded due to the ongoing McK scandals/issues and a potential recession in the making (which may prompt them to freeze hiring and/or renege offers).

Has this happened to anyone before at McKinsey, offer getting rescinded due to economic/company downturn? A bit worried

Hi guys, i have a current CTC of fixed 30L and I got a variable ~8L (32%). I heard that Bofa doesn't give bonus so what is the ideal one can quote the HR and should look reasonable?
