Hello, I applied to a generalist role at McKinsey ME around two months ago but haven’t received any response. From what I understand, not hearing back within two to four weeks of submission often suggests that the application may be on hold or deprioritized.
Given the uncertainty around next steps and not wanting to remain idle, I’m considering applying to a delivery role in the same office as an alternative entry point, with the long-term goal of transitioning into a generalist consulting role. Note: I have several years of specialized experience.
My question is, do you think this is a sensible approach? And if so, would applying to a delivery role have any impact on my previous generalist application or raise concerns with the recruiting team about my focus or clarity of career goals?
Alternatively, I might be interpreting the delay incorrectly, so I’d appreciate your input.
