I have applied for a Generalist Associate role at McKinsey, and the recruiter came back to me offering instead to interview for an "Associate, Marketing & Sales" position. I don't exactly understand what that entails. Could anyone give me information on the difference Generalist vs. Marketing & Sales? Will I still be performing strategy work?

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled
