McKinsey & Company McK 🐟 - How long does Mck take to declare results? I had 5 rounds of interviews for a PD role, last one being on 12th Nov. There is no communication yet. There is no recruiter in between and I dropped a mail to the hiring manager (director) asking her about the result. She gave positive feedback and said that she will respond after the Thanksgiving week. The entire week has passed and it's Tuesday of another week. No response yet. Is this common? I am losing hope.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they drag this through new year, on account of holiday season. Happened with me last year when I completed all my rounds in first week of December but only heard back in 2nd week of January.
It sure does test your patience. All the best

Thanks M1. I have just today sent a mail again to the hiring manager. But I read in a lot of threads that say this much delay means a ding mostly. So very nervous.

Sometimes it’s also because they’re choosing between multiple candidates who all passed the bar for a limited number of spots. You extend an offer to your top choice and see how they react before saying yes/no to other candidates

Interesting that HR requires us to give feedback within 24h for consultants in most cases while they ghost/delay candidates 😂

I second this! Rules for thee


Can the hiring manager give positive feedback and it still mean a ding? Thinking in so many directions right now. đŸ€”

Cons: I’m worried people might think it’s too much of a time commitment.

Pros: it’s reasonably impressive. I bootstrapped a company into existence on my free time and it has an impressive list of clients now. Profitable.

I’m technically the majority share holder, not an employee of the side hustle (it’s legally a company now). And I have employees that manage the daily activities.
