I get tons of emails from PE firms to my McK email. I had some of the top shops in NA in my inbox starting month 7. I went to a conference yesterday and asked a question in the front row, so the audience could only see the back of my head. After the conference wrapped, people came up to me like “you’re the McKinsey girl, right?” 3 offered me jobs on the spot without knowing me. When I do leave, I know we will all be just fine! But PE loves ex-consultants

I’ll add that I have very distinctive hair to add context lol. I have over 400 curls, I’ve counted

So, yea, the back of my head is easily recognizable, especially if you had to stare at the back of it
