Have a formal offer at Citi for 120K as an AVP in the NY office. Currently making 92K at my current role where I feel there’s not much room to grow anymore. Is this a fair offer? I currently WFH pretty much full time at my current role which has been amazing, but it seems like Citi would require me to be there 2-3 days in the office per week - and this is something I’m very hesitant about. Thoughts on how to approach this?

Can you get me a job as well?
Well, I'd ask some of the obvious... I've interviewed with McK and it's rough. When they give you a problem to solve in an interview they aren't happy for you just to get to the path / structure. They actually want the answer. So, I wish I'd asked a little bit more about what actually happens in interviews as obvious as that seems.
I also would ask about some of the realities of work at McK. For example, both Accenture and Deloitte sold me on being able to staff globally but I found out it's not true... Next time I interview I'm really going to dig in on that because that's one reason I would leave ACN. So, think about the things that are really important to you and the ones that may be different in practice than on paper and ask about those
Ask any and all legitimate questions that you have but won’t have time to ask during your case/PEI interviews. Also, they may be willing to do a practice case with you, which can be super helpful, particularly if you aren’t familiar with McKinsey’s interviewer-led case approach.
What type of work they do, how they decided where to build specialization, how / if the type of work has changed at all with COVID (outside of not travelling, which they were presumably always doing before), and asking for any tips as you approach the process are likely safe / will make you look interested. + any questions you are generally curious of that you think they may have insight into, of course.
What a great idea!! Note to self! Present to firm as great idea and get rewards! I’m a scholar!
