Any tips on negotiating salary and/or title with McKinsey?

You will not get a nonstandard salary. Not familiar with your situation but what exactly would you be negotiating around title? That’s likely 2+ years of tenure... you are either setting yourself up for a flameout at higher tenure or they are grossly underestimating your capabilities. I would suggest negotiating over signing bonus to get more comp if that’s what you’re after. Ideally you can justify it vs. what your all in comp would be this year at your current firm and say you’d like to be no worse off from a comp perspective when joining McK

The base salary is standard for levels upto Principal (Associate Partner). Try to negotiate the signing bonus.

Don't undersell yourself. If you are an SP or PC at Slalom don't go in as an Associate. You will be starting from the scratch.

Good luck!
