McKinsey & Company How likely is McKinsey to rescind an offer if there's a recession/downturn before my start date? Received an Associate offer with a start date early in the Fall. But I'm worried about the offer being rescinded due to the ongoing McK scandals/issues and a potential recession in the making (which may prompt them to freeze hiring and/or renege offers).
Has this happened to anyone before at McKinsey, offer getting rescinded due to economic/company downturn? A bit worried

Any thoughts on the eLearning space?
Have a formal offer at Citi for 120K as an AVP in the NY office. Currently making 92K at my current role where I feel there’s not much room to grow anymore. Is this a fair offer? I currently WFH pretty much full time at my current role which has been amazing, but it seems like Citi would require me to be there 2-3 days in the office per week - and this is something I’m very hesitant about. Thoughts on how to approach this?

They are like realtors.
My heart goes out to ya, OP. This is exactly why recruiters are being automated out of a job.
I literally had a voice interview with an AI bot named Caroline today. Called me at the specified time, asked the appropriate questions, and made good use of my time. It was beautiful.
Can you also hire a bot and represent yourself?
They're definitely not bright but think they're very knowledgeable and hold all this power. 😖 I've learned to ignore their opinion/feedback and lowered my expectations to nearly zero.
Now, I realize what I’m about to suggest borders on slanderous, but stick with me—I’m simply exploring every possible scenario, no matter how implausible, insulting, or beneath the dignity of modern professionals. Is it conceivable—just barely—that they mixed up the timing of the call? Yes, I know, an egregious and frankly unspeakable lapse in calendar discipline. Shocking. But stranger things have happened—like pineapple on pizza or people willingly using Internet Explorer in 2025.
Microsoft edge or using teams browser sites 🤮
I’m contracting through a recruiting firm and they call me incessantly. They’ll send me an email and then immediately call me to ask me if I saw their email. Currently, one of the recruiters that I spoke to on the phone twice at this agency (within the same contract, I’ve spoken to 5-6 people from this agency) is asking me for a LinkedIn recommendation - he’s been calling, texting, and messaging me on LinkedIn about it. Unbelievable.

Recruiter was testing your flexibility and level of desperation clearly lol
Recruiter has 30+ candidates with perfectly matching background and ivy league + mbb combo, all willing to do whatever it takes

100% agreed with you on all fronts.
May be because they have to put up with this

Why aren’t recruiters just AI at this point
