Hi there,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

  • First of all, of course, you can apply whenever it is technically possible.
  • Moreover, however, given the holiday season, you should be prepared for possible delays in response time due to reduced staff or holiday breaks.

You can find more on this topic here: How to succeed in the final interview round.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming McKinsey pre-interview assessment and/or interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hey there, 

The short answer is: yes. If you find roles open for application for specific offices, you can apply. What would be better for you, though, would be to apply through a referral

That said, as McKinsey does rolling applications, the time that they will respond varies based on many factors including staff need, amount of applications pending, turnover of current consultants, etc. and this will also vary from office to office and region to region. 

It would be good to get to know the recruiters for the office you want to apply to too.

All the best

Hi there,

Sure - your application will likely only be handled in January but nothing speaks against it.

Cheers,

Florian
