Hello,
I am a Canadian postdoc at a target school in the US and recently submitted my application for the Advanced Degree recruiting deadline, which was posted as June 15. However, the deadline for Canadian full time associate roles is not until August 25.
I listed my top two office preferences for Canadian locations (want to return home), with the 3rd being a US office as I am very open to still staying in the US.
I have some confusion over how office preferences are considered and when I might expect to hear back. My questions are as follows:
1) My understanding so far is that if your top office choice rejects you, then the application goes to the second, third, etc. If that is the case, and the Canadian deadlines are later, then will my application not even get looked at until August and I will miss the opportunity to be considered for the US location?
2) I applied for McKinsey Insight (did not get in) and did the Solve game back in March. Do those results carry through or will I potentially be invited to play again? And if I have not heard back by now to play, does that mean I did not pass the initial screen?
3) Is it best to direct questions to recruiters at my top choice office, or to reach out to the lead campus recruiters at my school?
Thank you!
