Signed an offer with McKinsey and waiting for a visa transfer from my current employer and background check. Recruiter and HR assigned to onboard me are both not responding to my questions/emails over the past two weeks (2 emails each). Is this normal? If not, what should I be doing? Huge turn off.

Might be helpful to just remember that the HR team is not really representative of any of these companies and it’s the consulting staff and leadership that will generally matter in your daily life. Not sure what you can do - maybe try calling after you’ve waited a few days, they’re probably inundated (I guess it’s a busy time for HR teams too dealing with COVID policies as well as hiring sprees) but can’t begrudge you being a little pushy for some kind of response.

FYI HR is slammed right now. It’s even been tough for me internally to get a response quickly

like

Yep, HR is crazy busy with COVID return to office, wrapping up recruiting season in general, probably dealing with the great resignation, EOY firm-wide performance reviews coming up… I think it’s okay to be pushy bc they are being slow but wouldn’t worry!

Thanks for your responses!

I’m a non-TX immigration attorney mentoring a UT student who went to my undergrad. He’s done incredibly well in OCI and pre-OCI.

He’s leaning transactional, but also open to litigation. Any insights/advice on these firms in the TX market? Any to avoid?

I have had several rounds of interviews for a role at Visa London office. When I reached out to the HR to check on progress/status after what they called the "final round", they said everything is positive and then set up another round with the hiring manager last week. TBH, that round seemed as if they want to make sure I have understood the job well. And there has been radio silence after that. Any idea how to read this? I have another offer and deliberating if i should just accept that.
