Hi all,
Was referred to McK. First received automated email, then an email with a link to apply to the position of associate. I am just finishing a PhD (with 1.5 years of professional experience) and my referee said they didn't put in a particular position level. I was surprised as I expected post-PhD to be Junior Associate and am worried if I apply it will foreclose success as i'm not qualified for Associate so will automatically be rejected.
I've messaged recruiting to check (not sure if this was a good move…) but does this suggest a HR screen thinks Associate is the correct position level for my profile? If I don't hear back should I just apply through the link and then they will recalibrate my application to JA if necessary?
