Question

Hello,

I've had my final round interviews with McKinsey Middle East almost 2 weeks ago, and still no reply yet regarding the outcome. Is this normal? i've contacted HR but no reply.

Answer 1

Hi there,

Q: I've had my final round interviews with McKinsey Middle East almost 2 weeks ago, and still no reply yet regarding the outcome. Is this normal?

Two weeks is not common at MBB. McKinsey in particular is usually pretty quick with feedback.

Still, there could be reasons why they are delaying the call even in case of an offer. For example:

Partners got busy and cannot align
HR got busy and did not manage to call

It is fine to follow up again a few days after your last attempt (I would call rather than send an email).

Good luck!

Answer 2

Doesn't seem normal to me. In most offices, HR aims to give you an answer – offer or not – within a few days.

Answer 3

Hey there,

That is very unusual. Final round results at McKinsey are communicated within 1-2 days usually.

I would call HR and ask directly instead of emailing them.

Fingers crossed for a positive outcome!

Cheers,

Florian

Answer 4

Hi there,

This is quite a long timeline, but it doesn't necessarily mean bad news.

I also waited over a week for my offer. I know candidates who waited for two weeks to receive a positive answer.

Reach out to the recruiter and politely ask for an update. They will understand your anxiety and will do the best they can to provide you with more visibility.

Best,

Cristian

Answer 5

Hi there,

It's unusual, but also not unheard of. I have seen candidates get offers 1 month later.

That said, as time goes on the odds do diminish. You can feel free to reach out to them to check-in.

Answer 6

Consulting firms are usually very quick when it comes to extending offers after a final round. At that point they have decided that they want certain candidates so they also want to make sure that they get them before other firms take them off the market.

It is perfectly justified to follow up at this point. Hopefully there was just a glitch in the system or a scheduling backlog so that you receive good news.

Best wishes

Answer 7

Hey there,

2 week's delay is not unusual, reach out to HR to get feedback. Thanks

Answer 8

Hi - This is not standard. Since you already sent an email to HR: Try giving them a call + reach out to your buddy if were allocated one.

Answer 9

Unfortunately sometimes they take a few weeks. But after 2 weeks it perfectly acceptable and even advisable for you to reach out and ask for an update.
