1. Can be both (awesome)
2. can be an M that is “stepping up” as an SM with only consultants / associates
3. Can be an SM only with consultants / associates

M is a stepping stone to SM - the real promotion. It’s a normal up or out position, so often times they’re “trying to prove themselves” that they deserve to be promoted

C2 - you’re partially right. Plenty of involuntary attrition comes from C->M, in particular during the M year. But the SM promo is still a major up or out point with lots of involuntary transition there as well.

Every project is different

First year lit associate here. I had a tough time deciding between corporate and lit and chose lit because I wanted to litigate.

Anyone else in lit lateral early on in their careers?

Summer intern at BCG. I've been told by a few people that you need to spend your first few cases "earning your stripes" to gain staffing optionality or be servile/loyal to a pyramid to gain access to the cooler case work within that PA. It's seemed particularly emphasized at times.

Is this the standard at McK? I'm trying to guage the staffing optionality and openness of McKinsey culture to direct your random walk.
