Hi everyone,
I am planning to apply for a Business analyst role at Mckinsey, India (through their job portal). I have a prior consulting experience of 1.5 years at a globally known pharma consulting firm (ZS Associates). Would be very helpful if anyone from the Mckinsey network can answer if the firm hires BAs through lateral entry. If not, what according to you is the best way to get in as a Business analyst at Mckinsey, India ?

Not possible as a BA. BA hiring is extremely selective and open to very few campuses

Thanks a lot for your detailed response. This was very helpful.
Yes, i understand that getting in as a JA after MBA is easier as compared to getting in as a BA just after undergrad but i wanted to gain some MBB experience for 2-3 years before moving to BSchool abroad.

That being said, based on your response and after understanding the way mckinsey hires BAs, I dont think my online application at mckinsey will get much attention from the recruitment team. Let me try my luck, thanks a tonn :)
