Currently I'm a R.A. Senior Associate at PwC, but I'm applying to a Business Analyst position at McKinsey. Do you guys think it's worth the trade (considering McKinsey will offer me the job)?

Yes - if you stay in consulting you make up for the time at the higher levels.

Update: McKinsey sent me an email recommending that I should apply for a FELLOW B.A., as I don't have any academic background in Business (I'm an UG in I.T.). The program takes about 6-24 months.

Had my 1:1 with my People Lead yesterday to prepare for talent discussions. Said I had a great year - but need to work on being consistent. She said when I’m engaged it’s great but need to keep it going. I’ve mentioned my ADHD previously but I’m sure she doesn’t know all the components of what that means. We’ve had org issues - no clear role descriptions or expectations. Yes I do have a hard time staying engaged (and I’m medicated - Vyvance in the am, dextroamphetamine at noon). Thoughts?
