McKinsey & Company McKinsey & Company just emailed me now, 2 weeks after completing my digital assessment through a referral program, I can infer I passed

They say "We regret to inform you that we are not able to move forward now, but if that changes, we will contact you before the end of the year"

"We appreciate your interest in our firm and hope we might connect with you again"

How likely they will get in touch? would they keep my application for next cycle incase vacancies free up? and ease/hinder my future application?

Not correct. We are mainly focused on MBA hiring this time of year so EH hiring is slowing down.

You have to reach out yourself to keep in touch. If you were given a recruiter's contact info I recommend following up at the 6 month mark

Exactlyy, practicing across intrinsics where I have been doing for so long prior to my application with that buys me more time.

Speaking of meeting the bar, it sounds optimistic for a follow up as you mentioned, if the emails were sent by the recruiting division and not a recruiter, how do you advice to get in touch with them as the office is regional not in the place o reside.

The down side I was seeing I don’t have a fancy MBA or other renowned consulting firms on my resume only local consultancies, I appreciate your insights you may leave me a message if you comfortable with it :)

Lmao! 0 chance. Focus efforts on improving attention to detail and clarity of communication

Well this isn’t as personal as it sounds, but that one person already had me the comment that I thanked him/her for.

This is my 2nd post clarifying the missing details to get his/her comment again right here.

Shouldn’t have justified honestly but so you guys can look at both ends of the story

Seems unlikely. What are the odds their business dramatically takes off in December? January maybe, but December seems unlikely.

Email them back to ask to reconnect early next year for an update. February may be the best time, as by then, January projects would have hopefully cleared the benches, and they may need new hires.

This is greatt to hear, and agree on the lower odds of dramatic change to occur in less than a month. Thanks for the insights

What role did you apply fo?

Associate, would there be any odds accordingly?
