Hi McKinsey Fishes,

How long does it take for an average performer to be promoted to EM from post MBA associate 1st year?

Thank you

As someone who started in the social sciences and landed in cyber, I love it and wanted to pop it up in case anyone has not thought about it. I am still surprised where my career has gone and have loved every minute of it. But I needed to know it existed first

I am in the people side of cybersecurity, 'Security Awarness'. If anyone is interested in knowing more or interesting in joining client facing consulting at the Big4, feel free to reach out!

Hello everyone, I just joined this bowl and have a very basic question. I have a humanities background in terms of academics which means I haven't studied maths or cs as a subject since high school. I'm currently working as an Analyst and recently graduated with a degree in BA Economics and History. I need to know if 1. it's possible for me to transition to a PM role in the next 4 years and 2. if yes, how? Thanks already for reading this far, have a good day!

Hello! I’m currently a Administrative assistant now working at a major medical system in Baltimore. I’ve previously worked for 10 years as a medical assistant in a variety of specialties and primary care. Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit stuck as to my next step. Part of me want to go into management, another part is saying go get your RN, and the other is saying go into Social Work. I’m all over the place. Any ideas? And how would I be able to cross over to management?

Less than a year into my role as an analyst in IT audit. Took the role with the hopes of transferring to a finance-focused group and after passing CFA L1 I mentioned this to my coach last week (also hold an MS in Finance, FWIW).

He said we should move on this quickly and to send him over a few projects / teams I’d want to work with.

If I would eventually like to find myself in IB, is my best bet to try transferring into the valuations group and also, how should I frame my outreach?!

Anybody out here know of any “development programs” for mid career professionals looking to transition to sales? Have a data/analytics b/g., but I’m much more social than a “typical” data/analytics person. We have a program at my company that I’m networking to get into, but believe it’s prudent to diversify options, as there is obviously no guarantee that they select me for the program.

Need another Q&A with EY's Wendy Edgar....today's topic "transparency"

Does anyone know if there is a modified, more condensed way to input the new K-3 information from a K-1 on a 1040 so that our staff aren’t having to input every single country’s information. Can we put it all to something like Other and then attach the K-3s or a statement saying available upon request? Just seems like overkill to arrive at the same answer, but potentially I’m missing something. Senior here and the manager is out of office so figured I’d ask the fishes!

So I worked from home yesterday and my husband had a sneak peak on my meetings with clients (which I’m very new to being a senior).

Anyone have thoughts or recommendation?
