Too harsh as my farewell message? 🥳

McKinsey & Company Has any industry experienced candidates pivot to MBB Engagement Manager before? My roommate works at FAANG as Senior Analyst (Ops, 6+ YOE) and was approached by McKinsey & Company recruiter for an EM role. He hasn’t done consulting before. Would this be too much of a risk? His goal is to pivot to PE S&O eventually.

I actually created a business case. Surprisingly, the partner I spoke to said no one had ever done that before.
Not really messed up. That's just how things work. Sorry but not sorry.
Slides to include?
Yes. I made one slide. Have you ever helped a SM with their partner presentation? Think that kind of business case/deck.
Deloitte - What exactly is included in the SM business case?
No one gets a bump out of the compensation conversation! It's just for the record and they will never change it. It has never happened in the past 6 years that I have been at the firm.
Interesting. I didn't think it was possible. What r u basing the convo around??
Yes, market research from clients and recruiters for roles I would be qualified for. And, you can also pull #s for consultants from FB. What's your value?
I also explained that (1) I won't be promoted but will be acting at manager (and billed accordingly) all year, (2) and asking because I don't want to leave, but want my fair comp.
I did this before rounds tables. After that it's s lot harder because budgets are set.
Basically I got 3.5% bump with 90% util in base and a 3. Roommate joined the firm just before PMY Date...8 billable hours...2.5% bump with a three...same level different service lines but ours outperformed his...kinda messed up, no?
I don't work at D, so I don't know. But:
(1) every team can manage their budgets differently, and
(2) what 1 other person is making is not enough data.
