I applied to McKinsey around September last year and went through several interview rounds until December.
Since then, I have not received any updates.
My application dashboard still shows “In Progress,” but I have not heard back despite reaching out to the recruiting team, and I haven’t received a response.
In this situation, is it typically considered a silent rejection? Should I continue waiting, follow up again, or assume the process has concluded?
Hi!
I won't assume it's a rejection until you receive an official rejection notice, especially not when the application dashboard still shows "in progress". The delay could be due to many reasons that are beyond your control at this point.
I would suggest continuing to follow up, but at a reasonable pace. At this point, with no response, probably once every 7-10 days. Reiterate that you're still very keen on the position and happy to share, if they need further information, etc.
All the best! Hope you hear from them soon.
