Anyone familiar with McKinsey Karachi and the type of work they do? I'm a consultant at BAH in Washington DC. I was born in Karachi grew up in the USA and my wife is from Lahore, Pakistan so I'm interested in potentially making a move to the area so she can be close to family. I saw McKinsey operated in Karachi and figured it's my only real opportunity to get over there. If you or anyone you know is from that office I would love the chance to connect!! Thanks!

Can't speak for Karachi specifically, but typically smaller non-NA offices tend to have less consistent levels of local work (except for govt) and staff very flexibly across borders, so would expect to be put on international projects throughout Africa / Asia mostly for larger multinational clients (in a post covid world ofc)

That's pretty interesting. I feel like that's a huge bonus to be able to get international experiance in a variety of countries. I was extremely impressed McKinsey had an office in Pakistan and was curious if Pakistan had enough commercial engagements with a high enough dollar value to justify putting an office there. From people I have spoken to in the middle east it seems they're pretty excited about the Karachi office.

I would assume a US degree will be much more coveted than any local degree. I can work in either countries as well as US, and I would love to leverage that to get ‘MBB’ on my resume if that can be pulled off lol I’m not sure if the quality of experience will be the same.
