I finished the final round interview with Mck for four days but haven't got a feedback from recruiter yet. But today I saw my online application status changed from in progress to closed. Does this mean that I am rejected or still have some opportunities for an offer?

Hi there,

This doesn't mean anything yet! They are working through the details.

Honestly, this could be negative (they're having final discussions but doesn't look good) or positive (they need to work through your contract, offer details, etc.)

Please practice patience here - they will let you know when they can! That said, if they haven't reached back to you in about 2 weeks don't hesitate to followup!

Hi, it usually requires up to 2 weeks to get feedback. I recommend calling/texting HR without worrying about bothering them. They are there to help

Best,

Hi there,

Difficult to say – I just helped a candidate who got an offer from McKinsey 1 week after the final round, so could be either.

McKinsey is usually fast in providing feedback, but occasionally they spend a few days more.

Finger crossed!

Happened to someone I coached recently but they got the job in the end. Dont read too much into this. Wait patiently or reach out to HR with a polite note to check status.

Fingers crossed for you!

Hi, very hard to say, don’t think about it that much, you can’t guess their decision in any way. In the best way contact HR or wait a couple of days more.

Yes "Closed" status on the application dashboard means rejected/turned down. I can confirm with my personal experience.

Hi, it seems to me that something has happened by now. It would be extremely interesting to get know what “closed” meant in your case finally.
