Quantumblack interview in Greater China

I finished my last round of interview with the partner almost 2 weeks ago and haven't heard anything back... I've followed up with the recruiters, also didn't hear back (They have been pretty responsive during the interview process). My dashboard says application in progress still...

Is this a silent rejection or is there still hope? :(

Hi there, 

This is indeed unusual. I have never heard of McKinsey or QB doing "silent-rejection" ever. So, I do believe it is much more probable that something came up for one or more of the top decision makers in your process. For example, maybe the lead partner had a family emergency. This could have happened, and would delay your final decision making meeting.

I do think this (or something similar) is most likely, but I also am surprised that none of the recruiters have given you clear answers yet. I would recommend pushing on them a bit more for some clue as to what the hold up is (politely).

Hope this helps!

Thor
