McKinsey & Company Hi everyone. Hope all is well.
Recently took the McKinsey & Company game (not sure if I have an interview yet but preparing nonetheless). It’s an entry level business analyst position and an entry level digital position and was wondering if anyone wanted to case prep with me. I’m willing to work on anyones time zone. (I’m located in Sydney, Australia).

I took a risk and lateraled out, no regrets. It’s been 6 months and I’ve almost made more in raises in my new role than I did my whole time at Booz, which included one promotion there. Life is so much better outside of BAH. Keep your head up and don’t look back.
Yea I don’t mind if you want to DM. I went to a contractor that was my client under domestic resilience
Things have not improved. Count your blessings and don’t spend too much time looking in the rearview 😉
I’d take a pay cut any day over this environment!
What’s stopping you?
Pro
What, you didn't want to work for a staffing agency that donated to the White House in a move of total desperation?
Don’t you people get tired of 24/7 politics?
Remote jobs are becoming fewer and fewer.
Not true
None of the people on this thread know what they are talking about because they are not at the Sr Staff levels. There are plenty of remote jobs, especially with data science/ML. The issue is people's lack of motivation to upskill for the required work. That's why I lost ~8 people below the Lead Associate level in 2025. The fat has been trimmed over 2025 and you most likely fell in that bucket if this was your look on the company. Every job has uncertainty. Go go big tech and just pray your job lasts more than 12mo.
Billable requirements are down. Hiring is increasing. Hell I can't even fill my contracts right now. Do your research. Don't listen to people that are responding with little experience (and yes, a level 3/Associate falls in this bucket because they don't see the business side). The only other person that actually has insight was the BAH 4 person correcting the supposed "director".
You don’t have control over any of these “macro” type events. As gently as I can say it - speculating is what got you into this mess, it won’t get you out of it.
Just focus on your work and your career. If your current gig isn’t giving you want you want, time to start looking.
Speculating on any version of “the job market” makes no sense on the individual level.
Good luck!
Pro
No it’s still the same.
What was the pay you had before and now?
Ah good point, I’m thinking of it more as a launch point while I get a masters and learn tech so I can pivot into more fun stuff, with higher pay
