McKinsey & Company McKinsey & Company
I applied to the consulting role after getting a referral. But seems like HR is taking too long ( Over 1.5 months now) to respond or reach out.
Any suggestions how can I expedite the application in the vetting process?

My experience with HR at McKinsey was amazing. The HR at the firm would always pick up when I called and immediately say my name. (He later told me he had saved my number on his phone). Very smart recruiters that advocate for you and even change your application on their end to be one level above what you applied for. Even though I didn't get the job and am working at another firm now, the few months working with McKinsey's HR was an incredible experience. My tip is to just treat them how you would like to be treated, and understand they are busy folks!

My résumé and portfolio are great, and I’ve been asked to interview with Amazon for 4 different teams now. However, it seems like I’m not making it past the first 1:1 interview. 3 out of 4 have resulted in not the right fit for reasons unknown; they don’t provide any feedback either. I have been invited for a new interview today with another team, and I am hoping 4th time is the charm. Any tips on how to do better next time?

I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

I have offers from PwC India and EY GDS with same CTC in technology domain. Which one should I choose and why?
The important parameters for me are annual hikes, promotion, work life balance, learning, growth and exit opportunities. Kindly help.

The normalization of "on hold" by the usual suspects. Had 6 interviews in past 4 months with D_itte Get the verbal offer from HR. Yay. Fast forward to following Monday. Get thanked for my complimentary followup sent post-final interview. 48hrs later, same recruiter (on speakerphone) tells me job is now hold and "you must be upset" and good luck in your search.

Tacky AF. Tell me I was rejected by the shadowy 5-person board or it was given to someone who wanted less. Just not this b.s.

I had my first round of interviews with Mckinsey last Friday. the first case was a disaster but the second case + both of the PEI were quite good. The thing is, my other lead progressed very well, it's also in the Private Equity space, an Investor Relations manager role, boring but good money. they pressed me to go through all the process by the end of the week but I won’t be able to advance much with McKinsey by then…Super stressed, what should I do?

Why has real estate remained lucrative?
Mainly agents but also developers.

The barrier to entry is low, not even sure if graduating high school is needed. My old agent even said she did it bc she can make a lot money and not work that much. She drove a new Mercedes and sent her kids to private school, husband was also an agent.

So I’m curious why it didn’t get flooded and the profit margin dampened to a $/hr closer to other jobs with similarly easy entry?
