Short answer: Mix of both. More about the latter as you gain seniority.

As per BCG. We have a very large Professional Development team who work with you to ensure to get the right projects and work with projects to ensure they get the right people.

Is This pd team separate from the deployment managers?

They do the job of deployment manager and a lot more.

Yale SOM (no $) or Johnson with a full ride? Goal is consulting (not MBB or bust but MBB is the target) in New York City. Will have to take out nearly full tuition loan for Yale. Concerned about Johnson’s strength in consulting placement even for T2; seems to have mixed reviews. Could also reapply this fall and add Tuck and Kellogg to the mix but unsure if it’s worth the risk as this fall may be very competitive.

Graduating with PhD in comp neuro next year.

Are there any similar day-long or week-long internship programs for data science? Would love to test it out for a little bit to see what I like/dislike.

Hi MBB Software Engineer fishes,

I recently applied for a position in one of McKinsey’s recently acquired firm for Senior Software Engineer (Team Lead).
