I’m looking to leave consulting. But a McKinsey recruiter reached out to me recently about interviewing. I just don’t have the passion to go through case interviews and then actually work in another consulting company as a PPT monkey. Am I crazy ?

I don’t want to practice case interviews and put on a front that I want to be a consultant . McKinsey is way better than my current consulting company, but I want another job that’s not in consulting

Doesn’t hurt to chat but wouldn’t take the offer unless you feel passionate about it (due to specific changes experienced during the process)

Agree

No.

Good practice either way

Which firm are you leaving?

Agreed with above. No one wants to be a PPT monkey

No, consulting is tedious. But maybe you’d like the interview process or something about McKinsey makes you passionate about it. Worth a final shot.

Can you land the job you want now? If not, bite the bullet and go for a year so you can write your ticket.

Can we switch?

Agree. I was in finance for a long time and just hated it, every time I switched jobs I thought it would get better because of the company, but it doesn’t. Find something that makes you happy.

Feel free to point any McKinsey recruiters my way
