Background check McKinsey - Offer withdrawal?

None of the examples is of material significance. You worked in both places, I assume with the role you stated, and to be honest both are “low relevance” jobs. The “insight” one states from there is that you had work experience, and it makes zero difference whether you worked 2, 3 or 4 months in that specific role. 

In the first case, it has zero importance. You just stated the wrong month. Probably happens to THOUSANDS of candidates. The won't even blink. Regarding the second, its really minor - and once again, without any material significance.

Real problems come when one lies to get ahead in getting an interview. None of those mistakes is giving you an kind of real advantage. 

If one would lie, would they do any of those changes? Nope. One would state a higher rank, a company they didn't work for, or a role they clearly didn't have. And I am not referring to changing your role name for something more “appealing" (that is, in general, also fine, particularly if the original name doesn't convey what you were doing in reality). 

For example, I once met someone who had on their resume to had done an intership with Mckinsey. Reality: had a course that involved coursework done under supervision of a Mckinsey manager. THIS is meaningful.

Hi,

These are minor mistakes, it doesn't change anything frome my point of view.

Real mistakes (or fraud) would be naming a diploma you don't have or a job/internship that you never did.

Do not worry !

Hi there,

Congrats to your offer! 

Rest assured, this is nothing to worry about. As Pedro mentioned, this is not material enough to matter.

That's really minor stuff. The fact that you actually worked at those places matters and that the general timeframe is true. Those are just things you can double-check in the future when you prepare your application documents. 

But this is not big enough to have an offer withdrawn. You did not intentionally deceive and neither one of those two extracurricular activities was likely the deciding factor that you got the offer in the first place.

So no need to panic

Hi there,

Congrats on the offer!

And, you're going to be able tpo keep your offer. I'd be incredibly surprised if anything happened here. Minor date issues and, worst case scenario, they'll just reach out and ask.

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the McKinsey offer!

I think this is an interesting question that may be relevant for many people. I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:

• From my perspective, there is absolutely no need to worry since you did not maliciously falsify anything.
• If anything, they will ask you to justify your actions, which you have already done very comprehensively here.

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

Best,

Hagen

Honestly you’re fine, these are so very minor. Most they just want to check you worked where you said you did, they won’t go into this level of detail. Try not to worry! 

Hi there, 

No. It is highly unlikely that anything like this could lead to an offer withdrawal. 

They only withdraw the offer if it's obvious that you tried to mislead them in the recruitment process.
