Interviewing at McKinsey from a big 4 consulting firm - currently an engagement manager interviewing for an engagement manager role on the partner track - comp at big 4 is currently $165k base, what’s a reasonable amount to ask for at mck?

I got an Ivy League exec mba in 2020 as well, which hasn’t yet been reflected in my big 4 comp (we mostly didn’t do raises because of covid last year). Trying to understand how much higher mck might be willing to go?

Shoot for $300k my friend (I have no reference points but you seem to be worth it)

Usually mckinsey bring other positions as one level below (an outside EM would join as an associate, etc.). If they're offering an EM position, it would be equivalent of a new EM, not an experienced one.

McK fish can help me here, but I'm fairly certain that base should be around 200k-230k, and TC might be close to 250k

Usually they’ll bring you in at a specific level and you’ll get whatever base salary corresponds to that level. Not really room to negotiate the base; but you can try to push to come in at a higher tenure (eg AP vs EM)

What’s a manager on a partner track?

EM with the expectation that you’ll rise to associate partner and then partner. We have the same concept at my company. Up or out track to partner. Maybe all EM roles follow this at mck idk, that’s just what the recruiter told me. At my firm it’d be relevant as not all manager level roles are on an up or out track to partner.

Hello, I am in USI GES tax at DUSI. I love my job but not my team and mgmt anymore. I'm a performer and I'm dumped with work of 2 ppl while others are searching for work. I am burned out.

I resigned and accepted a job with EY GDS with a huge pay bump that DUSI can't match but I also gave up my potential promotion for 2023.

I've been feeling bad about putting my papers down and letting go off my promotion but I am really tired. I took up this job as an escape.

Did i do the right thing?

McKinsey & Company How likely is McKinsey to rescind an offer if there's a recession/downturn before my start date? Received an Associate offer with a start date early in the Fall. But I'm worried about the offer being rescinded due to the ongoing McK scandals/issues and a potential recession in the making (which may prompt them to freeze hiring and/or renege offers).

Has this happened to anyone before at McKinsey, offer getting rescinded due to economic/company downturn? A bit worried
