Hi Community,

Can I reapply for McKinsey after I've turned down a job offer? If yes, how long is the cooling window? 

With the previous rejection history, will it be more difficult to get another job offer from McKinsey in the future?

Thanks in advance!

Hey there,

As far as I know, this is different than a ban period after a failed application and there should not be any issues with applying again (provided you declined the offer on good terms).

I would reach out to HR to clarify your situation.

All the best,

Florian

Hello,

I also second Florian's point of view - I think this is a different situation to getting rejected so you shouldn't be subject to a ban, but it will definitely depend on your circumstances so I would recommend reaching out to HR first.

If you get the green light to reapply, the process should be exactly the same - in other words, it won't be more difficult, you will still just have to perform well in case + behavioral interviews. The only thing I would recommend is taking some time to think about how you would answer any questions about why you turned down the job offer in the first place to assuage any concerns in this regard.

Hi there,

I highly recommend you reach out to HR and speak directly with them! Try calling instead of emailing as your ernestest/persuasion would have far more impact here.

Ideally, and as long as you gracefully turned down the offer, you should be just fine to re-interview. Please make sure you have a convincing/valid reason for both why you declined the other AND why you're coming back.

Best solution is to check with the HR/recruiter who would be the actual authority on this. We all can only speculate.
