McKinsey Recruiter reached out to me and wants to “connect for 30-45 min” any idea if this will truest be a casual chat about role and my high level experiences or if I should be prepared to be interviewed and grilled?

My calls with recruiters were very much just walk me through your resume, maybe with going a bit more detail into some work that was relevant for the role - overall extremely casual and not feeling like I was being grilled!

Hey Fishes,

Joined LTI recently in P3 band. However not allocated any project. Got a call from the resource management team to relocate, which I rejected upfront as I was promised a role in the location I am posted. It has been over 2 weeks since I am in bench. What shall be the next steps, shall I wait for some days or start looking for other jobs as getting a project looks difficult as there are minimalist responses.

Interested in working in PE, but experiences align more with the Ops side (3 YOE in strategic value creation).

Not sure how to make a case to break into investments with minimal DD experience, so thinking about Ops recruitment (Associate). Would also be grateful to learn about potential strategies non-DD focused consultants have used to ultimately break into investment teams.
