I’m curious about McKinsey & Company and their Periscope team. Is it really a separate org that only does back-end? How friendly is it to techies who want to retain work-life balance?

Periscope is the umbrella term for a set of solutions, so WLB, leadership, etc. would highly depend on the specific team, role, and location.
It is not a separate org but it’s true that it functions slightly different than the integrative consulting arm at mck (more hierarchy in some solutions, for example)

And would you classify it as family-friendly and with decent WLB in general? I’m wary of recommending pursuing a role there due to the long hours.

Writing annual goals. What are examples of how to write “quantifiable” goals as a consultant? Are you measuring number of relationships built, projects, or something else?

Most of consulting is advising on solutions to problems, but I don’t control the outcome, whether the advice is implemented, or the budget. Sales is easy (e.g. “sell $2M of products/services this year”) because there is a clearly defined measurement. What can consultants measure?

The barrier to entry is low, not even sure if graduating high school is needed. My old agent even said she did it bc she can make a lot money and not work that much. She drove a new Mercedes and sent her kids to private school, husband was also an agent.

So I’m curious why it didn’t get flooded and the profit margin dampened to a $/hr closer to other jobs with similarly easy entry?
