Mckinsey 🐟🐠 - Anyone have insights into applying to Asian offices (greater China/Singapore) as a second generation Chinese-Canadian? I am fluent in the language but have never studied/worked in those regions except for a brief exchange semester. How should I go about it without any connection to those local offices?

Just apply to roles in those specific offices. I applied to a posting in the US w/ no connection to McKinsey and got an interview - it happens frequently. Wouldn’t worry about the fact you haven’t lived there extensively.

Thanks fellow 🐠

Why fish 🐠 twice ?

Plural!

There isn’t really a big advantage to knowing Mandarin in Singapore FYI. China definitely.

Thanks friend for the info

Are the comps the generally the same as a US office vs abroad?

Hi Fishes,

I got interviewed at infosys two days back.
When can I expect to hear back from them.
Also all the questions that were asked to me were written coding questions(Write block of code) none were verbal.I could write all answers but none was 100% correct.

At last I asked the interviewer about feedback as in where was I wrong. He said at couple of places and he explained me where was I wrong.

Do you all think I will be rejected?
