Anybody moved from a "B" to McKinsey? 1 year post MBA and thinking about switching. Does one start fresh or is you're tenure considered (pre-first promotion)?

Why are you trying to do this? It’s going to be hard to explain unless it’s an office issue.

I assume he did not get an offer post-internship?

Are you saying from a “B” consulting firm as in “not an A tier”, or a “B” as in MBB for BCG or Bain?

Pretty sure it is doable. But I just can’t rationalize it. It is more common at partner level.

1) It’s doable, you just need to justify why and find an office that’s growing and that you like

2) Why in gods name would you want to do this?

I’m not sure if McK is more transactional or not, but it’s an odd reason to move—especially given that you’ll have less to “transact” as a newbie
