Dear A,

If you haven't received any record from the first office, then it generally means that maybe you passed through the system and therefore you shouldn't have any issues with second interview. However, I would strongly recommend you to be very well-prepared.

If you need any help, feel free to reach out.

Best,

André

Hi,

as stated by the other coaches, if the accelerated round has been unofficial/off-the-record, I would start to prepare the interviews and work on the negative feedbacks which prevent you to get the offer in Asia.

Best,

Hi,

It will not be a problem, as the preferences of the local offices supersede the default ban period. If you show a decent performance and thus receive an offer, no one will highlight that you were recently unsuccessful during your application with another office.

Hi,

First of all, at least at McKinsey, some offices are out of global hiring police and in that cases, you can interview with both.

Secondly, as you've noticed, it was an unofficial interview in your case

Thus, I recommend to concentrate on preparation

Best!

Hi Anonymous,

so far that the first interview was off the record, it should not be in the recruiting system (otherwise you would have not been invited in the US in the first place). Unless after the first interview the explicitly mentioned you cannot apply to other offices, I would not worry about that.

Best,
Francesco

This will generally not be a problem. In the best case, different offices use different systems or rules. Nonetheless, if you have been invited it will not affect you negatively later.
