Contacted by McK for an exp hire role. Asked to speak to someone in the team and had a call. They kept insisting 'the way we work on cases is completely different than other firms' - is it really?

Uh... no, I don’t think it’s really that different. Sounds like recruiter hype/cockiness.

Had a similar 1st round call with McKinsey, got the same tone. I ended up going with BCG.

“Completely different” seems like a stretch

Was the person you spoke to a former deloitte person? If they werent they cant comment on how mckinsey is different than deloitte

SC1 nope, former ATK actually. They kept emphasizing that McK teams work on 'leveraging knowledge' and that it's not about personal responsibility for deliverables. Sounded borderline cultish to me

Also totally personal responsibility for deliverables.

Thanks for confirming McK2, I thought it sounded too weird. I'm in our strategy practice, and can't imagine the way projects are delivered and teams interact being so radically different

like

I mean, I'm not saying there isn't a difference. But when I asked about the level of responsibility/ independence an associate would have, they made it seem like that was a negative thing, 'we do all of our work as a team, etc'. Just seemed a bit odd, would like some perspective

🧐

Yeah their recruiters can come across as arrogant borg.

Then ignore them and move forward

I am under qualified for a job that I KNOW I can do. They’ve asked for a certain number of years of experience and I don’t have it. However, I do have some experience in the exact requirements for the role. What can I do to position myself to get an interview from my resume alone? Should I add a cover letter? What should I include? I have 2-3 YOE, but they’re asking for 5.
