Got put on a launch straght out of mat leave 🙄😳… I don’t know how I feel about it. Looking at the amount of work ahead just gives me anxiety.

I came off my first mat leave onto a huge new, male-driven account with a Super Bowl deliverable. I was averaging 55 hr weeks but I liked that I got to be part of something important and not left to let my career languish. There was also a rhythm to the work load with client meetings consolidated to the same one or two days a week so I knew which nights would be my late nights. It comes down to having good support inside and outside of work. If you have that, you can make it happen. It’s definitely something I do not regret taking on.

McKinsey & Company How likely is McKinsey to rescind an offer if there's a recession/downturn before my start date? Received an Associate offer with a start date early in the Fall. But I'm worried about the offer being rescinded due to the ongoing McK scandals/issues and a potential recession in the making (which may prompt them to freeze hiring and/or renege offers).

Has this happened to anyone before at McKinsey, offer getting rescinded due to economic/company downturn? A bit worried

I started a new job just 7 weeks ago, but an opportunity for a dream job just suddenly and unexpectedly fell into my lap! It’s a lot more money, more aligned with my career goals, and will have better work life balance. I’d be an idiot to not take this great new opportunity! That being said… I’m going to feel bad leaving this new job so soon. I’m sure they’ll be disappointed and maybe even angry… is there any way to NOT burn bridges on my way out of this current job?
