McKinsey & Company Hi - I am considering applying for the McKinsey & Company Associate - Strategy & Corporate Finance job in NY office. My current experience includes 3 YOE of corporate strategy at a top 3 bulge bracket bank and 1YOE of corporate strategy at a top 5 at alternative asset manager.

I know lateraling into McKinsey is very difficult, so wanted to get people’s honest take on whether it is worth applying to or not

Just apply and figure this stuff out if they reach out for an interview. No need to even spend time thinking about this unless they do

Top 3 bulge?🧐

NY office is toughest to get -- if you don't get there, also consider applying to another office and then you could later transfer.

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer.

There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
