I know this is basic but it’s real - read the “what we look for” page on our website. It’s literally.... what we look for

Not at McK, but should be as with most things. Make sure you prepare. My understanding is that there is a case and behavioral component. You can really prepare for both. For case, there are a ton of resources out there and check with your network. I’m sure you’ll find someone to practice with. For behavioral, same thing. Find the story you want to tell and practice conveying that message with someone, ask for feedback.

You got it, Op. best of luck.

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
