My 1st case interview for Mckinsey had been cancelled and I had emailed the recruiter if I might hear back from then soon regarding new slot or if it is an indefinite hold on the process. It has been 4 days, now it is the weekend. Shall I email the recruiter again this coming Monday? In their email, they said they will get back to me once they have an update (which I had emailed 4 days ago).

Ohh I hate to feel like this, checking my email every hour for an update.

I would say there’s no harm in emailing again Monday or Tuesday / a week out. Sorry for the situation. I imagine it must be as frustrating as it is perplexing.

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?

Random, but valid/persistent thought.

After 2 years of a pandemic and working independently for many years, I am not feeling interviews AT ALL. There are points in the interview where I want to just say "Look! Either hire me or don't".

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?

I knew it would be ruff when I went back but I didn’t expect it to be this ruff. Is my recent history gonna be a huge hurdle to even get an interview?
