How does utilization work for McKinsey, and Bain?
A few starters:
1. Is the expectation that you must be staffed at all times, or is it reasonable to have some time on the bench?
2. How does this factor into your performance reviews?

The strict up or out model takes care of utilization. If you have trouble getting staffed because you’re not good, you don’t last long.

I haven't had beach time in 16 months... but if I finally get some, I won't be punished for it in terms of career/comp

Not M or Bain but I imagine it’s similar - you don’t get rated on utilization at all. before things got crazy busy, 2 weeks between cases was the norm

Will echo, utilization is not a factor here

Heyy does anyone have any tips for an entry level media planner? I graduated last year and landed a FT offer at an agency. I’ve been working from home for almost a month now and honestly it has its pros and cons. Not only is it harder getting to know your team, but there haven’t been much guidance from my manager and the lingo takes some time to get use to. I guess I just want to learn as much as possible and give off good impressions. Since everything is wfh I’ve been feeling anxious. Thanks!
