McKinsey & Company Has anyone done direct to EM from BA in McK US or Canada? What does the compensation look like if you choose to not go for MBA and dive into EMing directly? Heard some horror stories that EM who went directly from BA stays with the BA level base salary until AP level, this doesn’t sound right. Anyone could provide some color to this topic? Thanks!

No, you join the Associate class from one year after you.

2020 BA becomes 2021 ASC for comp purposes.

like

You’re shifted to the associate/EM pay scale at the end of the year in which you’re designated (so base pay doesn’t change immediately, but your total comp for the year will increase) - depending on timing, you may not make as much as an associate-to-EM who joined the same year as you, but you’re definitely making much more than if you stayed a BA.

like

You should reach same total comp at roughly the time of designation (though should note ratings are correlated with but not linked to designation)

The trap for BAs is that your tc is much more bonus driven than someone from the ME track - so you’ll have less cash flow until you catch up at EOY

How tough is it to break into a FAANG PM role at mid-level if you have less prestigious experience?

Went to a good-but-not-Ivy school. What qualifications and experience are FAANG companies looking for when hiring mid-level PMs? Can I break in at mid-level from here?
