McKinsey & Company Hi Sharks,

Got an offer from McKinsey knowledge center. Wanted to know a bit about work culture. Are you open to having a conversation if you work there? Please help.

I think it’s like a back office for McKinsey & Company but hiring manager denied that.

What’s the exact role? Also the trick is to ask your recruiter if you will be CSP or FSP, client or firm facing

Pretty sure it’s a firm facing. The recruiters and hiring manager confuse me. HM said McKinsey is a products based company so I thought they meant McKC and in next round with Director he mentioned McKC is not a back office for McKinsey and Company. Today had a call with recruiter she mentioned it’s not McKC but McKinsey. Also I gave interviews for Senior S/W Enggr but they’re offering Cloud Engineer now with cap “x” on salary while I have offer from Qualcomm for “x+5” LPA

There are many roles at the knowledge centers: some are building and delivering assets/solutions to clients, others are developing IP, and others are the more back-office roles that folks are referring to.

Many folks in my favourite practice area started as knowledge and research folks and moved to expert consulting. The same can't be said for most people in the help desk type roles.

The role is for creating blue prints for commonly used Cloud applications and maintaining McKinsey’s public infrastructure in a newly formed Cloud Native team

It feels like a back office it’s not but then again everything in McKinsey other than the integrative track feels like a BO

I need help managing a contract transition. I just started working as project manager owning a large system and help manage a team of developers contracted by a different company. Now their contract is ending and I’ve been asked to represent the gov’t as a contractor and make sure the transition goes well. I’ve never been in this position…usually I’m either transitioning in or out. The outgoing isn’t very organized with their knowledge transfer and documentation and want to help them but how?

I am a clinical research coordinator working in Austin, Texas. I have my Masters in Cell & Molecular Biology and have a year of laboratory research experience.

How do I go about asking for a raise or should I explore other companies or medical schools that have clinical research?

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?
