How flexible is the start date for MBB? I initially mentioned that I’m available from November, but I’m now thinking December would be a better fit. I haven’t signed the offer yet.

How does McKinsey’s program for annual leave work? Do they have specific days allocated, or is it flexible? I’ve already planned a 7-day trip in March and I’m not sure what to do. Should I bring this up with them or consider cancelling?

I completed the BCG X coding assessment (400/600) 5 business days ago, but my application still shows ‘Assessment Requested’ and I haven’t received any update — should I keep waiting or consider it a rejection?

Hi! I just finished my 3rd round at McKinsey. About 30 minutes later they called to schedule another interview with HR. Does this mean I passed the 3rd round? The recruiter mentioned that no final decision has been made yet, and I’m not entirely sure how it went I did mistakes
