Completed all rounds (6 rounds ) for QB Mckinsey India office. Still awaiting for response

I completed all six interview rounds by December 19th. The HR and recruitment team informed me that they are still in the process of conducting interviews with other shortlisted candidates to finalize their decision. They mentioned the following:

  1. All my rounds, including the partner round, were positive.
  2. I am considered a strong candidate for the position.
  3. If I am expecting or awaiting any other offers, I should inform them in advance.

Given the firm’s holiday shutdown, can I reasonably expect to be included in the final list for the open position? Additionally, how long might I need to wait for a decision?

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on going through the entire application process with McKinsey!

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

  • First of all, no one can seriously answer whether you will definitely receive an offer or not. However, from your description, it sounds very promising.
  • Moreover, given the holiday shutdown, you can expect some delay in the final decision. In general, you should expect to receive a response within a week, although recent cases have shown that it can take longer.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hey there, 

It's difficult to say how long it will take to get feedback on your particular case. Given holiday season and recent trends, it could be anything from 2 weeks onwards. It would be good of you to follow up with recruitment in the second week of January, allowing them time to get back into the swing of things this year. 

Regarding if you can be expected to be included in the final list, you have been given some reasonably good feedback, but the only ones who would know that are your interviewers and recruiters. The rest of us would be speculating. 

Wishing you all the best!

Congrats on making it this far, and fingers crossed for an offer! The timing will depend on how far other candidates are in the process. I would check in with them early next week (if you haven't written to the team in the last 1-2 wks).

Hey!

Given that McKinsey has a holiday shutdown and they are still conducting interviews, it’s reasonable to expect that the final decision might take longer than usual. The fact that all your rounds were positive and you're considered a strong candidate is a good sign, and HR has indicated that you should notify them if you're awaiting other offers, which suggests they are still actively considering you.

Typically, you could expect to hear back within 2-3 weeks after the final round, but with the holiday period, it may take longer. It's a good idea to follow up with HR in the coming days to express your continued interest and check on the timeline, but don't be discouraged if the process takes a bit longer. It’s common for decisions to be delayed around the holidays. Stay patient and stay engaged!

Good luck, Alessa
