Got an interview at McKinsey for an associate director position (second highest position according to the recruiter) with the director next week and only have 4 YOE in consulting in total. How can I still ace this interview? I do admit I’m not quite there yet in terms of seniority and experience but I’m very coachable, a quick learner and willing to work hard/smart. Any helpful advice?? I’m nervous.

Ask to interview for a lower level role. Sometimes McKinsey recruiters overrate candidates and it ends badly.

How many yoe before consulting?

Zero, 4 YOE in total

Is this with Finalta? It’s the second highest position in Finalta not at McKinsey. Partner is the second highest position at McKinsey and they are typically 14-15 yoe. Even if it’s AD, 4 yoe sounds too little, maybe shoot for associate

Is that back office?

*scratches head*

Edit: it’s not for the consulting but more an internal role per my understanding

Go do it then, it’s corp HR, you’ll crush it. Rest you’ll learn on the job
