BCG fishes: If you make a temporary transfer to another office for 12-24 months, will your salary (& taxes) come from the home office or the office that you transferred to?

Quick one, Is it okay to always ask for time to collect thoughts before answering questions during case interviews or should we shoot from the hip? I stutter naturally so speaking without a bit of time to collect thoughts can be hard.

McKinsey 🐠: how much did you practice before your case interviews? (i.e. how many weeks / months in advance, how many hours per week, etc?) any tips on most effective ways to prep as an experienced hire coming in at the associate level?

Can get advice on TC?
Let’s say your original TC in your current is 300k, but because of stock appreciation, your actual TC now is 500k (same base, same bonus, but stock appreciated). When negotiating with new company, will the new company consider your TC as 500k, or 300k? Thanks

Currently at a T2, thinking about applying to an MBB . Question for you MBB 🐠 — if I have a referral and a solid resume, is it pretty much a guarantee that I will get an interview?

Should I update the firm I’m interviewing with? Or if I get an offer should I explain during the background check process?

Can Mck fish please advise on the role of a sponsor? How is different from role of mentor? TIA

Anyone from McKinsey Dallas who is willing to chat?

Recently got referred at BCG. Haven’t received the link to apply yet (< 24 hrs), should I reach out to my contact and ask him what’s going on ?

I have a non business background, and I often noticed that to go a bit further on certain cases or distinguish yourself from others, some knowledge about the industry/sector can be good. Do you have a website/ressource where I can have an overview of the most frequent industries? Thank you in advance :)

What's with the McKinsey certifications? E.g. "Business Strategy was issued by McKinsey" What does it entail? who pays for it? Information or skill based? Etc.

Does anyone have any insight on what is entailed during an “expertise chat” at McK? I spoke to a recruiter and made it through to the next step.

Got contacted by a McKinsey recruiter for experienced hire interview (position I applied for) and she connected me directly to the partner due to my domain expertise. Partner liked my expertise and gave thumbs up. What would be the next step? Do I need to go through other interviews (exp/case interviews) still or does this mean process is being expedited since my area of expertise is in demand?
