Hi,
I got referred by an EM to apply for an Associate position. I'm applying as a post MBA experienced hire. After I applied I got the solve game invite and completed it Monday (10/6). When should I expect to hear back if I made the cut? Are there any early reads to know if I'm moving to the next round?

Hi there,
Usually, McKinsey takes around 1–2 weeks to get back after the assessment, though it can vary by office/role. There aren’t really “early reads” as decisions typically come all at once once recruiting reviews all results. If you don’t hear back after two weeks, a polite follow-up to your recruiter or referrer is totally fine.
Hi there,
It is normal for recruiting to take ~2 weeks or so to get back. Don't try to read too much into it.
Don't think there is early read that you can do from your end either...
Just focus on what you can control - prepare the potential upcoming interviews well.
best,
Emily
Your wait times between recruitment stages depend on a lot of factors including:
- Recruiting priorities and open vacancies for hiring for this year
- Vacation plans of the recruiter who is assigned your case
- Availability of interviewers for your 1st and 2nd rounds
In summary, not hearing anything could be good news, you might just be waiting for someone to contact you.
