Hello!

Congrats on applying, this is the 1st step for everyone, and it was back in the day for the current senior partners :)

Don´t worry too much yet, since it can take weeks for them to process.

Furthermore, think that sometimes they don´t inmediately move everyone through the funnel, but wait and move them in "badges".

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara

Hi there,

agree with what Henning said: wait it out just a bit longer, the process always involves a mail.

I wanted to add regarding the time it takes: Most companies have your application reviewed within days. However, sometimes they have an official "minimum processing time" before they give you feedback, e.g. 10 days. That is because they want to ensure that you feel that they have checked you're application thoroughly.

So - hold on tight, best of luck!

Hi A!

Yes, it can take some time to process these applications. I'd say typically between 2 and 4 weeks, though exceptions are possible. And yes, you should expect a rejection email if you should not get accepted.

For now, I would give them some time. If you don't hear within 4 weeks, it's fair to reach out to HR and ask about the progress.

Hope this helps.

Hi there,

Yes, it does take some time for a company to process one’s application. It typically takes from 1 to 4 weeks, exceptions are possible. In case of rejection, you will be notified.

If you do not hear from them after 4 weeks, it would be fair to contact their HR and ask about the progress.

Hope that helps!

Hi there,

You should indeed expect a rejection email (though it doesn't always happen). That said, it's still too early to say (it has only been 2 weeks!

Wait another 2 weeks before reaching out to HR. Even then, they may just have not gotten to your resume yet!

Hi, it usually takes up to 2 months in this period. However, I recommend do not hesitate texting/calling HR and do not worry about othering them: they are there to help

Did you apply via a referral or just online? If you did not apply via a referral I highly suggest reaching out to folks in the firms you applied to and ask them to refer you even though you have already applied. This can often prompt HR to expedite the process.

Hey there,

1. Nowadays up to a month is possible with changes in recruiting timelines and COVID

2+3. They should, however, I had a guy contact me recently from South America after he applied and he faced the same issue. Never heard back from McK and the application was closed (and he was not invited to the PSG). Shoot me a message if it is different for you - curious!

Kind regards,

Florian
