Which office should I contact? Two applications?

Hi Anonymous,

In the first step I'd try to call (not email!) your preferred office - since it's a global recruiting system they should be able to review your application status independent of your current location.

Usually McKinsey does not invite candidates to additional events if they are already in the recruiting process. If you already decided to apply, there is (usually) no need to spend additional time and money on candidates telling them something about McKinsey or consulting, since based upon their application they should already know what they want. However, doesn't hurt to ask your HR contact about that, exceptions to the rule always exist.

Hope this helps - if so, please be so kind to give it a thumbs-up with the green upvote button below!

Hi there,

I agree and think you should reach out to your first choice. If they either don't answer or say "no", then reach out to the second one.

Good luck!

Hi there,

Two recommendations here:

1. Call HR in your preferred office to ask about the status of your application. If you did not make it through, feel free to contact the other offices (in your order of preference)
2. Do not submit another application for the program you mentioned. Try to network with HR from that office and ask about the best way to proceed forward: submitting a new application Vs considering the one you already submitted for that position as well

I hope this helps, do not hesitate to reach out to me should you want to discuss this further!

All the best,

Mehdi

From the question, it is very clear that you are going through a campus interview, a kind of recruitment channel. This recruitment channel, at least at the front-end is lead by the local offices. If your MBA school or your graduation school is in a particular city, then this particular city office is the one that leads it. So, if you haven't heard back from the company then your first point of contact should be the local office or the office of the country where your university or your application has gone into.

The program that you are referring to - not sure exactly, what's the intention of that program. A lot of companies keep on introducing these kinds of programs with different intentions. It's very important again that you've clarified this question with the local representative office and with that consulting company and clarify your doubt, whether there is any kind of advantages or disadvantages of being engaged in the parallel process if the different program. There are the best people to know about.

All the best.
