Engagement Manager here. Is being an EM from McKinsey something to be proud of? Or is this a job like any other?

I think it is a valid question. I believe yes and yes. You should be proud, lots of people want the role you have. The firm believes in you enough to trust you to run day to day operations on very costly client work. However, it’s still a job and when you leave someone will replace you. So it’s yes to both.

mck 2 your responses in this thread are wonderful. keep on doing you.

I hate consulting slang, I think mck slang can sometimes come across as even more annoying than normal, and honestly I might hate consulting in general. but everything mck 2 said here is totally spot on and reasonable... C4, sorry, but you are 100% in the wrong

I'd be proud to work for McK. I'm a higher level but can't beat the prestige of that firm. I applied in B school but got rejected from final round. All my clients hate you guys but they keep hiring you - your partners have great C level connections who pressure them into it (my clients are director/VP level). We act like we hate you but honestly if I could get a job in that firm I'd be there
