McKinsey & Company Question for McKinsey & Company . I applied recently and got rejected by the screener (applied without a referral, not smart I know). An employee reached out and wants to refer me. Can I reapply through a referral, even though I was rejected only two months ago? Profile seems to fit with those I've talked to, but it seems like the automated screener is an issue. Thanks!

I would like to apply to one of those but I feel like it’s a bit strange to get an offer that is a year from now…

Immigration lawyers had sent me a questionnaire to fill out for Manager PERM. They now just came back saying that they need to assess me for a different position. Anyone else experience this?
