I have an interview with McKinsey - Senior Associate, the role pays 50k more than my current role. (3YOE)
I have no consulting experience nor do I have an MBA. Somehow I’ve passed the first 3 stages and I am now onto the case study interviews.
Has anyone went from product management into consulting, is it worth it, Am I making a mistake? (London, UK)

I did, it's not worth doing in the US but in the UK and Canada it pays better at MBB.

Is the role integrative or specialist path? You'd be better off as a specialist rather than an associate.

Generally we have internal product managers that work on internal products, but you can get brought into them but it'll often be for higher level stuff like vision setting and strategy, which is pretty fun. Most work is with clients.

How much are they offering you for the role?

I haven’t got an offer but the recruiter mentioned around 100k GBP base

How did you land a senior associate level? Recruiters have been telling me they start everyone at the associate level first even if you are an experienced hire in the generalist tracks

Unless it's different to NA there's no such thing as a senior associate.
