Can you clarify what "remote for now" means? Should new hires expect to have to relocate in a few months?
- jchrisa 7y ago
  It means if you are hired to work in the SV office, you won't be expected to interview in person, or work in person until the crisis is resolved. The roles are not remote roles, but there's no going into the office at the moment.

    Also for relocations, I think it might be worth clarifying whether or not the candidate is expected to move to the area prior to the role. Right now I'm targeting a relo and have asked this of several of the 8 or so companies I'm in process with... while some have confirmed it is okay to remain in my current home, several are unsure. The big difference would be a sooner start date but an idea that once office work can resume the candidate may be taking a week off for relocation.

    so the answer to the second question is "yes, most likely"?
    - socksy 7y ago
      Not necessarily. Don't work at McKinsey, but don't they have a reputation for flying their workforce to the client sites Monday-Thursday, no matter where the engineer lives?
      - jchrisa 7y ago
        On my most recent project, we were mostly remote, but onsite for a couple of days a month, on the project before that, there was a dedicated floor at the client facility, staffed by a mix of client and Firm people Monday - Thursday. On Fridays most colleagues reconvene at the Firm's offices for internal meetings. Needless to say, we aren't traveling like that now. I've always been remote so it's been interesting watching everyone transition.

    How do you define "the crisis is resolved"?
    - danesparza 7y ago
      I think we're ALL trying to work that one out.
      - ablekh 7y ago
        I strongly believe that work that could be done remotely MUST be done remotely until the coronavirus vaccine is developed and deployed (even if at the expense of some potential performance loss and/or corporate culture impact; though it is arguable, especially the performance aspect). Lifting off the remote option would IMO be a recipe for much more suffering due to a significant contribution to next waves of the virus spread.

I'm a junior data scientist at a consulting company. I was on a project in NYC for over a year with a Fortune 500 Entertainment company, but project ended as soon as all of this corona virus stuff hit. Now, I am on the bench and a bit scared I will laid off now that I am on the bench, which sucks because I've been on projects pretty much my entire time I started at the company. With that being said, if I apply to McKinsey and get the job, do you think I will walk in with that same doubt of not being placed on a project due to the crisis occurring right now? Thank you Chris! - A

  My team, the financial services lab, is in an asset building role, so we are less sensitive to utilization rate than other groups.
