I have a superday for Business Analyst role at McKinsey. I need to make a decision today whether I would like to pursue the Strategy and Corporate Finance function or enter as a generalist consultant. Does anyone have any recommendations/experience? Are you able to pivot to another function? What are some of the exit opportunities for the Strategy and corporate finance function?

There is some merit to aligning with S&CF if that’s the route you want to go with. Alternatively if you want to do a random walk to start your career then generalist would be more aligned to that goal.

S&CF is our bread and butter so the exit ops are essentially whatever you want from having McK on your resume

Also as a generalist you can easily do S&CF work but more flexibility. As a specialist you’ll get better connections to the leadership and practice

Generalist is the same as "undecided" everyone specializes eventually. If you're not sure what you want to do then pick generalist

Hi all -

I'm looking for some feedback to share with my former boss.

He has not been able to replace me since I left in November. He is insisting on his EA being in the office 5 days per week. He's asked for a call with me to discuss what he can do to attract a solid EA. Besides me saying, "Please consider this as a hybrid role," what else can I tell him? What are your compelling reasons for wanting to be hybrid/remote?

I'm an EA at a small global consulting firm (<25 people) with 5 years of experience supporting C-Suite execs. 3 months ago, the CEO put me in charge of our marketing efforts, and yesterday, he fired our recruiting coordinator and asked me to take over her job. I'm asking him for a raise on Thursday. I want to be a team player but am feeling like my job is a catch-all now. How would you define my role and how should I approach this conversation?

(FL) So I currently work in ID, storm claims etc., and would appreciate any advice the great people here have.

I have been practicing for about 1 1/2 years. My current case load is approx. 80-90 cases with very little supervision and a shared assistant. This is essentially impossible to keep up with and the pay is horrible.

I want out, but feel as though I’m an undesirable hire due to the above and I went to a bad law school. Is a recruiter the way to go? How do I transition out of ID?
