McKinsey & Company I’ll be starting at McKinsey as an associate next week but will be getting married in a few months. And I also want to take a honeymoon later in the spring. How do you suggest i approach this ? Do you think I’d get time off so soon? McKinsey & Company

Tell your PD early so they are aware when staffing you .

Get into an early habit that you have to speak up on what you want . The firm demands ALOT from you .

Perform well on your studies and nothing else will matter :)

Consulting is actually really well structured for this. Try to go in between cases and you won’t be bothered. Trying to do this mid case will be annoying

Second McK1 - I took a week off about a month and a half in for my sister’s wedding. As long as PD is aware, teams staffing you will be able to account for it

Can’t you postpone the honeymoon?

Please do not reschedule! Work will always be there

Easiest if you plan to do the honeymoon between projects... No questions. Meaning try to solve to have an ending date of your project the week before your honeymoon. If that's not possible, just be upfront during staffing with your team that you'll be entirely offline for your honeymoon from x date to x date

Doesn’t matter how you perform between now and then. Let you PD know when you start what time you will be off. If it’s more PTO than you have accrued, you can take unpaid leave or sign up for take time at the end of this year.

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?
