Hello! I’m sorry if this isn’t the right place… I have an offer to join McKinsey Transformation and had some questions about PE Ops exits. Is there anyone here I can DM re: how I can get those exits from this practice?

Value creation roles are accessible at all levels, but breaking in is currently challenging given the state of the private capital market. Your chances are significantly higher if you’re based in the U.S., London, or Munich/Frankfurt for the DACH region. One thing to keep in mind: in PE, ops roles are not at the core: you’re essentially supporting the investment team, not leading it.

Also, if you are thinking already about potential exits from McKinsey, be aware that transformation work often focuses on implementation. You may not get exposure to designing the transformation strategy from scratch. To build that skillset, try to get staffed on diagnostic phases early on (good way to develop rapidly your toolkit) that’s where you really learn how to define the ambition and structure the program, rather than just executing a pre-defined playbook…

Thank you - super helpful!

Something to be aware of is also making sure you are not staffed as part of the TO multiple times otherwise you risk being pigeonholed

when did MT stop doing restructuring?

I will say this I love working with the students . I love getting to know them . I smile to myself when I go to work . I still feel this way after last week being asked my three different people about doing something where I told them that I was not going to do. following day I was then ambushed by admin (where I have never felt more like nothing. Following this encounter with people in charge I had an anxiety attack. This was terrible and I have no trust . TAs are mistreated. Similar story?
