Any insights into the Solutions Delivery Specialist position at McKinsey Academy? How does it differ from traditional business/tech consulting? Comp range for 3 YOE?

I Currently work at a Big4 on tech strategy projects and was reached out by a Mck recruiter for this position.

So at a specialist level you’re client facing, to McK1’s point about the 3 tracks. Normally analysts are ESPs - I would just double check that with your recruiter though. I’m in digital not MT but I would imagine it’s the same general thing.

Solutions, you run your same solution / suite of solutions at multiple clients - it’s relatively standardized in that way. Your real value comes from your deep expertise of both your solution and that topic, and you advise clients how to leverage that solution - the results they get, benchmarks you pull, whatever - to help them the best with that topic. So a lot of time, you’re only on the study for part of it rather than the whole thing, although sometimes clients/ CSTs will request you stay on the whole study. At least, once again, this is how it works in mine. I’d double check during the interview process.

In terms of comp, you’ll be coming in as a specialist so comp will be 1st year specialist comp. I do know they’re trying to standardize it more with traditional consultants though, so I would push hard for 150-160k base if possible, and for a 20-30k bonus esp if you’re losing your EOY bonus at your current company

Of course :) let me know if you have any more q’s

I’m working w someone in that position right now. They’re mostly internal-facing (i.e., coordinate with internal teams and members of the client-facing team), but they do have some client interaction.

Unsure about comp/growth, but unfortunately I’d expect it to be lower/slower than your traditional client-facing consultant

I’d make sure when going thru the interview process you ask questions re: job responsibilities (e.g., what might my work stream look like on a normal project, what might my team structure look like).

We have 3 categories of colleagues at the firm: client-servicing, firm-servicing and engagement-servicing. Solution delivery roles are the latter track.

Good luck!

OP any update? I’ve got an interview coming up soon.
