I just received an offer from Mckinsey starting in 2024. Does anyone have any insights on what the first couple of weeks are going to look like?
Also which one is a better strategy, pushing hard to be staffed on the types of projects that I like or taking any project that is available?

OP, take whatever comes your way with a positive attitude for the first 6-8 months (only thing you should be solving for are projects that are appropriately challenging that will help you get reps in and build your toolkit and skill). This helps you upskill and build goodwill fast, then pivot to stuff you personally like after the fact. Being picky right off the bat, especially if you don’t come in with a built out toolkit, can bite you in the foot (e.g., underperforming on a CST you care about/build a bad reputation, unstaffed and not upskilling bc no availability in the industry/practice you like while your peers get ahead, weaker brand compared to others after x amount of time because you were picky on the sidelines). Trust me, focusing on developing skills agnostic of any practice is always the best bet, then pivot.

Not in MBB but I’d probably say going with the first projects that are available to you. Getting the experience of industries you’re not familiar with is always a good look.
