As far as I know at McK no one (or very, very few) gets hired in directly as an EM. You first have to start as a BA (post undergrad) or Associate (post-MBA).

Same here, very few lateral PLs and they tend to really struggle. It’s the hardest role to lateral into. I’ve heard mixed things on if they do cases or not

like

Yep. I think you essentially need to lateral from McK EM or equivalent and even then it’s still very difficult.

Not doubting it’s uncommon, but several people from S& have done so in the last year from one of our key verticals. Don’t think it would make sense to leave for a non lateral position given the hit we would take on compensation.

Agreed. I use to work at a T2 and know two who did it from there.

I have seen a few at both EM/PL and AP/Principal or now partner, but also these folks left with Partners that pivoted as MDP. Assuming package deals, and these partners can feed these folks work, hence minimizing the risk from lateral independently.

Hello fishes, I joined Nagarro on 24th of August. But still no project is assigned yet. Basically I am on bench. Now I am about to get an offer from ServiceNow. I really wanna join ServiceNow as it's a big product based organisation and the competition is really high compared to Nagarro. ServiceNow is giving me a joining date of 1st October. As I am still on bench, will I get released by Nagarro soon ? Because no project is allocated to me.
