Pretty normal at McKinsey no? I know people that are APs at 28.

For context, if I was fast tracked again the next cycles I could make manager before my 25th birthday and that just stresses me out to no end

Congrats. What firm / practice you OP? The fact that you feel like an imposter is a really hood sign that you’ll do well. I don’t know the whole story but do know this that you can always turn down a promotion or defer it for a year. If you are going to b school then you may want to take that promotion and then go.

Lol did you have a rough childhood growing up? I don't mean to judge but this post reaks of entitlement. Take a break because you got fast tracked and can't handle it? Cmon.
