Hi. I have 20+ years of experience both in consulting and in-industry. I have a contact at McKinsey that I connected with that is willing to make an introduction/referral for me. A few questions: 1). What level should I be targeting. I’m willing to take a lateral to a degree because. . .well, it’s McKinsey, but I don’t want to come in too low salary wise and somehow undercut the value of the experience and the roles I’ve already held (VP/DVP). As such - is Associate Partner too low? 2….

1) It depends on the quality of your experience. Could range from Associate all the way to Partner. I would target the level that matches your current compensation.

2) Same format. You need to go all out studying for case interviews.

Similar situation for me recently. 20+ years experience, mostly in a specialized industry + a couple of years of management consulting. Said my interview process would be 2 first round interviews with case study in each, 2 second round interviews with case study in each, final interview with 1 case study. Went through the first interview and I withdrew myself. Personal situation dictated that decision but also did not feel it was the path for me.

like

(Continuing). 2nd. Question: Does McKinsey still have the same level of case interviews for experienced hires? I’m trying to determine if I need to go into full-on study/pre-mode if things move forward. Or, does 20 years of experience count for anything:-)

What's your salary requirement? Posting that could help people provide more info.

$200 - 225 base

If your experience would justify partner that would be better. Is your contact a partner that you could discuss with them?

Contact is an AP. The recruiter is pushing for AP. I was previously a DVP for a health plan so have depth in healthcare for sure.

Need some advice. I was asked to apply for a senior digital marketing specialist role (the lowest title I’ve applied for, looking mid-senior level). I applied and they offered me the position, but are telling me I need to start out at the regular specialist level. To me, if I interviewed for the senior title, and I can clearly do the qualifications needed since you offered me the role, I should have that title. Thoughts? Supposedly the reg. specialist role is senior in their org. structure.
