McKinsey & Company I’m looking to leave EY for McKinsey & Company in the next year. I currently have a masters in finance and 3 yoe. Should I apply for an associate position or look at the senior analyst rank?

BA is analyst. M2 is correct. M1 is incorrect unless your masters is an MBA.

You would be an experienced hire BA. You have to have 5 years of experience or an MBA to qualify for associate

No MBA/PhD and less than 5 YOE is an experienced analyst level role. Possibly senior, but not guaranteed. (SBA doesn’t come with a comp bump other than the standard YOY raise anyway)

If you are a senior consultant you can pull of senior associate. I got the interview for senior associate in digital

Associate

Relative to my peers who apply for this position, I would assume 3 yoe is roughly average. Does a specialized masters do anything extra for me? It is there something I could do to stand out (at least as an applicant)?

Thank you, I really appreciate the feedback

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
