McKinsey & Company Hey folks!
Was wondering what sort of life sciences projects does usually the Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey & Company take on?
Commercial, access and pricing, M&A, transformation, implementation? (all of them perhaps?)
Basically, what would someone with an LS background be mainly working on in these firms on a day-to-day basis?
Thanks!
Anyone know the raise amounts for BCG yet?

And then they don’t get an offer and blame McKinsey to be elitist and too selective

Definitely not just the case. PEI is also critically important.

It’ll be zoom. I had my first round (3 years ago) on video too because I was a non target. You’ll be fine - I’ve done interviews for McK on zoom and people who stand out stand out regardless of the format. You can still gauge someone’s personality over video!
That’s great to hear - thank you!
Thanks all. I am definitely aware of what it takes to do well and get an offer. Moreso just a question regarding format - whether it will be a phone call or video. Appreciate the insight
It’ll be zoom
We did it on zoom. I had no issue forming a good connection with my interviewers. Just smile and be animated.
And just turn up your energy level/enthusiasm to one degree higher than your normal level and you’re fine - for the case in particular during the initial listening/recap phase as well as during clarifying questions. Also do this for opening conversations, and play it by ear for PEI (figure out the type of interviewer you have).
