McKinsey & Company Hey McKinsey & Company fish! Applied to the Digital Associate position (US) and just completed Solve. Unfortunately didn’t do as well as I liked on it, was more challenging than I expected. Should I expect a rejection, or is it just one part of the application (e.g., resume and referrals are still important) for getting an R1?

Love how your message reads as if everyone at McK knows this position.

Depends on how you did in Solve. There is definitely a cutoff threshold

Is the MBB name really worth it over Big4, T2, Boutiques in terms of exit opps?

Would love to hear from experienced hires who have insight into both types of exits (MBB vs other) to better comp and wlb (tech is ideal but any industry works).

I know type of case work factors heavily into opportunities but how much does the MBB name really open? Is that name recognition worth leveling down to grind for another few years?
