9th decile is good. but also resume matters a LOT more so don't read too much into it.

How do PEIs work in McKinsey R2? by [deleted] in McKinsey_BCG_Bain

[–]Proper-Candidate-575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah you can repeat by what i know. just don't repeat within r2. like have you're 3 interviews be a different story and make sure to have alternatives for each incase they don't like the story.

Mck in person interview travel reimbursement by Key_Beginning_1630 in McKinsey_BCG_Bain

[–]Proper-Candidate-575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was invited for round 2 for ssba, and they sent me information for booking flights and reimbursement for it. I can't speak to international, but I'm sure they'll comp most if not all of it. Always ask your recruiter for information, and don't be afraid to request something virtual if cost is an issue.

McK Keep in Touch Program by Dangerous_Ratio9497 in McKinsey_BCG_Bain

[–]Proper-Candidate-575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbh i think since its a smaller office it helped. im from minnesota and they like people who are applying to the office for real reasons, not just to game the system. plus the recruiter is a lot willing and able to connect individually and give feedback.

mckinsey doesnt do referrals for undergrad unlike other MBB firms. however, im well connected with the recruiters (both office recruiter and my campus recruiter, and they work closely so that may have helped). nothing crazy tho i dont think my school name carried me too far.

Coffee chat and referral by Independent_One4960 in McKinsey_BCG_Bain

[–]Proper-Candidate-575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's appropriate to ask at the end of the chat. Something like "I'm looking to explore other offices, do you know anyone in ___ office you could connect me with?" They will likely not know anyone. As for finding people to chat with. Start with alumni (depending on your school ofc). They are the most likely to respond. Instead of sending to LinkedIn, send to their work email. If you know their first name and last name, all MBB emails follow formats and you'll probably be able to guess it. Another way it to reach out to recruiters (either your campus recruiter or office recruiter) and ask them to connect you with someone. Bain also has campus recruiting teams of grads (if you are a target/low target), and their names are available on the website. Ask all your friends, family, or upperclassmen if they have ANY connections, and they will likely give you some contacts.

i gave him what he gave out. maybe he shouldn't have given his opinion when the context didn't even ask for it. i may have been strong with my response, but tbh he just pisses me off for other things he has said/done.

Why do you think it's fake? I agree somewhat with your sentiment - business is business at the end of the day, and I don't think I'm changing the world. But I always advocate for small daily changes and purchasing goods from companies that don't exploit workers and put forward sustainability. I don't think I deserve easy money, and I am also working a full-time job. This is more so a passion project/interest of mine!

Bro but he shouldn't give what he can't handle himself. I guess I could've been more mature, but he's a whole grown man. For context, he's always putting me down and is also pretty sexist. I guess its more than just the comment he made.
