Hi,

I think it would not harm if you send a nice follow up message to the HR asking if there are any updates. Sometimes HR get swamped with the number of follow up calls they have to make but they should definitely get back to you. A nice email would be totally fine!

Good luck :)

Hi Iris,

it is unusual that they haven’t provided feedback yet – McKinsey is usually pretty fast in giving answers (usually few days independently on the outcome).

You can definitely contact HR again after one week (so tomorrow) – a polite reminder won’t be an issue in any case.

Hi Iris,

Definitely make sure you've waited 1 week, but afterwards it's perfectly reasonable to reach out.

Make sure the email is short and sweet!

Hi Iris,

Thanks for sharing the relevant details about your situation!

Usually McKinsey answers even the same day or next working day - however, logistics and time pressure issues can lead to a delay though. Not that common, but it happens occassionally - so no need to be worried.

If you like you can give your contact a short call and investigate a bit - it won't hurt!

Hope this helps - if so, please be so kind and give it a thumbs-up with the green upvote button below!

Hi Iris,

As pointed out by others, it is totally fine to send a nicely worded email asking for any updates on their end. It could very likely be that the meeting got pushed out for some reason or the other.

Hang in there!

Hello!

THis limbo is very unique honestly.

I would for sure contact HR politely, seems that they had agenda problems or something alike.

Keep us posted on the result so we know if it happens again to someone!

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Hello,

Silence can mean a lot of things (positive and negative) in these cases, do not overthink and try to reach out to HR that followed your process (I would avoid to contact directly the HR partner, at least for now).

Hi Iris,

That’s totally fine to call or text HR and kindly ask about any feedback. But you need to be sure that at least 1 week is gone.

Do you need any further help?

All the best,

GB

Dear Iris!

I would recommend you to contact the recruiting of McKinsey to clarify the status of your application, and the best way of how you should proceed. As already mentioned, this silence can mean a lot. So just make a friendly call to ensure everything's all right.

Hope it helps!

Best,

André
