McKinsey & Company Any advice for joining McKinsey & Company from a non target school? (Doing my masters in banking and finance) - accounting background. Or is it just a false hope?

100% possible. Network as much as possible with the office you want to apply to (networking with other offices will not help you). I’d try to avoid the major offices that get a lot of Ivy applicants unless you have a personal connection there (e.g., NYO, SFO, DC).

Would Dallas be considered a major office?

Great thanks!

Tangentially— what about for undergrad internships? Not a target school either, but I’d love to try my shot at it.

HI! Give it a try. It's better to have more connections.

I am from a non target school and in the Dallas office and so are others here so very possible

I stupidly gave a salary range during the interview of 110-140k, cuz I was guessing, but I know JPM pays 130k base for the same role. How do I get myself to 130? First time negotiating, any advice appreciated!!!
