I got lucky once by applying to 10 positions in a single day. Caught the recruiter's attention. She reached out and told me that she saw so many applications submitted by me that she decided to screen my resume. #BruteForceAlgorithm

MIT/Stanford/many others aren't Ivy League so that's a stupid thing to say

OP: Send me your resume at atkdigitalfish@gmail.com. Can try forwarding to the recruiter I know at McK.

@c2 clearly OP meant not Ivy League tier. Reading comprehension includes meaning and intent, not just semantics

like

@D1 it's better to be clear and put out what you want to say rather than depend on others ability to interpret your intent. Makes your life (and others) much easier. Try it :)

Agree ^

The other option is employee referral.

@C1 - don't know anyone at McKinsey unfortunately

I had applied to a data analytics related role a year ago. Got a phone screen from the recruiter. But never heard back from her later.
Also it doesn't really matter if you're Ivy league or not. What truly matters is your skill set

Geez guys no need to fight. Just asking how to get to McK. Thanks @C1 will take you up on that.

Kudos C1 - fish helping fish

Hope it works for you OP, I have thus far struck out everytime I've tried :(

Currently working in Due Diligence and looking to switch to either IM or Consulting. I’m really looking to grow and I recently got an offer for a TP role at one of the big four. Should I take the offer and then pivot to a management consultant role from there or should I stay in banking and try to get myself into IM? What are my options? Thanks!

Been seeing this guy for 1 year now. I just became an American citizen so have been getting more into politics. I lean left but the guy I’m seeing leans more conservative. He treats me so well and we get along great. Yes we disagree about topics but have respectful conversations and have both become more open minded. He doesn’t think it’s an issue. I feel like the media and the judgement of dating someone on the right is getting to me & making me have negative sabotaging thoughts. Any advice?

My favorite part of consulting is helping the consultants I manage improve their public speaking by designing talking points, reducing their fear or anxiety around speaking, and improving their executive presence.

I read about people on this platform needing help in these areas. At the same time, I’ve been wanting to spend more time helping more people with these topics. If anyone would be interested in sharing about their public speaking-related challenges, feel free to DM!
