McKinsey & Company Hi! I’ve been working as a product manager at TikTok for the past month but I want to jump ship due to the corporate culture here. Would anyone from McKinsey & Company be able to provide a referral? I have around 1 yoe in analytics and past internships in product and consulting. I’m looking to apply for the general BA role, and have gotten an offer from another MBB as well. Please ignore my title (Im not sure why this is). Thank you so much 😊

When does your other MBB offer expire? Honestly we are known to have the worst culture of all 3, arguable offset with better resources and project types. But I’ve never seen someone be able to go from application to offer in the time frame of before a current offer expires

It expires at the end of the year so I should have some time. I should have clarified - by culture I mean the leadership style of my direct supervisor, and how that is prevalent at my current company. I am under the impression that McKinsey has a very structured way of approaching projects and training and I’d really like to re-start from ground 0 to build the necessary foundation

What’s wrong with the culture?

Yes my manager is local. Unfortunately it’s literally impossible for internal transfer since manager would require approval + duration of stay. I mentioned in the other comment below that I want to re-start my foundations and go through a systematic way of training and thinking. Looking specifically at McKinsey

I had a great experience at Microsoft, and would like to keep that door open in my mind, though my last connect has what I would call unfair characterizations due to a unique chain of events.

Hello,
London is a world class metropolitan city and so is the cost of livi.
But then why don't MAANG or other big techs pay as high for software managers and other leadership roles as they do in the USA, particularly California, Washington, New York. In fact for the same role, $ salaries are at least 3X higher to their counterparts roles here in London.
Definitely, London isn't 3X cheaper them.
Is it that companies don't want that high here or there isn't enough competition or something else?
