McKinsey & Company Can anyone provide insight into McKinsey’s Finlab practice? I love my job at PwC as a consultant (6mo to manager) but an opportunity has presented itself to work with Mckinsey, a company I put on a pedestal. But this is not a consulting role I feel and just weighing leaving PwC where my team and culture I have grown to love. Salary? Is the work intellectually stimulating? Growth?

I'm in the FinLab practice. Great team, happy to share my thoughts. Feel free to dm :)

What’s the role? Highly depends on that

I was briefly told it would involve project management skills. I have yet to find out the details. As this was a referral from a friend, I dont have much insights until I speak to the interviewer.

Is it just in my experience or are recruiters/hiring managers really reluctant these days to discuss salary bands for a given role?

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
