Hi,
You need to follow up with a principal, but that's a common situation for NY. Chances of being invited even with a referral there are pretty low.

Have you followed-up? If not, you definitely should.
PS: Not every referral leads to an interview, even from Principals.

Does rejection from the McKinsey and Company case workshop hinder my ability to apply for the open roles in London, and will I be subject to the 12-month waiting period?

Hi I work as a private equity / M&A lawyer in London considering a shift to MBB. My attraction stems from the more commercial / strategic thinking I believe consulting will give me and I can later leverage that to either pivot to (i) industry; or (ii) private equity. Thoughts?
