Is McKinsey under hiring freeze?
I finished the last round and got positive feedback around 2 weeks back. But, now they are saying need further approvals.
What does further approvals mean?

They send it to Deloitte for approval. In fact, I got it right here on my desk and about to approve it right after I pick the juiciest icon for this slide I'm working on.

Nope, no freeze - you may need an additional interview.

2-3 months is normal for non-campus. The more senior hires (ie direct elect partners) could take 6+ months.
I agree there are still normal hiring for client services. For non-client roles hiring has not stopped but there are definitely extra steps.

They're asking Deloitte if they'll take you instead since you're too good for MBB.

Hmm, maybe it’s you?! You didn’t close the deal!

Recruiter said I am the top candidate for the role and they are willing to move forward. Just these approvals need to be done. I am also confused what these next steps mean.
