McKinsey & Company Hi can someone explain how staffing works at McKinsey & Company ? I keep hearing it’s a global staffing model. So can an Associate email a partner from whatever office and show interest in their work? What’s the success rate of that?

It’s more like a national/practice model with global opportunities. There’s more nuance, but the basics (using US as an example):
1. Pretty easy to get staffed anywhere in the country if you try, but teams will typically bias you to a local partner or EM early on and then you expand from there. EMs in your office likely are all over the place.
2. As you hit around 9 months or so and have your feet under you, formal loans to other countries become available
3. Around the same time, you start to be able to ask your PD for help trying to get international and your own outreach can start to see success

I’ve never heard of anyone getting staffed internationally without seeking it out.

All staffing, by the way, is your decision. It’s hard to say no to reasonable things but if you don’t want to be there most teams don’t want you either.

Would you say being staffed well relies heavily on your ability to network?

Southern office PD is amazing, I’ve given my PD lists of what I want to work on and areas I want to develop and they’ve always found me the right studies and EM’s to help with that.

National is more accurate. But definitely happens that US partners will have overseas clients or clients with overseas sites and send you over there

Is it the same for Europe?

how difficult is it to be staffed in projects in other European countries?

Hi Fishes,

ZS were willing to offer me FTE as ZS but at a compensation of meagre 8.5 Lakhs. I tried negotiating but they sticked with this.

How come ZS do that? Why can't they pay more as they generally pay 15+ for 4.5 years experience.
