I recently joined McKinsey. I did the orientation/onboarding. I even did the annoying videos. Now, I have to do business essentials. Is there anyone that is willing to help? This has nothing to do what I was hired for. I don’t care for business essentials.

Are you serious my brotha

Do all the videos on 2x speed (I'm doing this as we speak) and then jump to the assessments right away and reference the docs. Doing that will probably take you one day for it all.

Then spend the rest of the week in coffee chats and other training. This is the easiest week so far!

It's just over two weeks of required elements with lots more available.

Remote in my non-US country, though some of us worked in the office sporadically.

McKinsey is a business consultancy. There is not a role where where doing a quick business essentials class is a waste of time.
