I think I got an email from a recruiter at McKinsey in Brazil today but I don't speak Portuguese. Anyone want to teach me real quick so I can live like a queen in Rio? 😎

McK Brazil IS amazing. I know a couple associates who only speak Spanish - and one that is American, learning Portuguese. Don’t let that (small detail 😂) put you off! Massively growing region, LatAm.

This post is obviously in jest. The email was entirely in Portuguese and so very clearly meant for someone else or part of an elaborate spam plot.

I only have federal experience, a bachelor's degree from a public university, and I very much enjoy working 40 hours per week. There is nothing about my profile that McKinsey is dying to have in Brazil. Though I have always wanted to live in Rio so if only...

P2, that is great! 👍

Can you refer me? Fluent in Portuguese here! 🙋🏻‍♀️

I thought McK requires English proficiency from every member bc of global staffing model?

@OP - of course there is a chance. If you are good they want you there and chances are many (most) of the office speaks English. Clients may be different but you can learn the language.

What makes MK Brazil amazing? Are there opportunities in US working with MK Brazil?

Good luck OP!
