McKinsey & Company McKinsey & Company been working here one year and received pretty positive feedback. Given the expectation for people of my tenure to transition to EM in a year or so, I can’t see myself staying due to the WLB as an EM. I’m 35 and have 2 young kids. Can it even be realistically done? Would love to stay but I don’t see a balance which would keep my family happy. What options do I have from there?

1. Attention to detail!!!! It is definitely something I struggle with, but they don't have time to really double check your work so try to get everything to a final product before it goes to them.
2. This project is your life but one of my for them so always provide details about what you are sending them is and what actions they need to take.
3. Just because you report right to them doesn't mean you can't run ideas by others at the firm even have people double check your work depending on what it is.
4. Simailar but for small issues try to reach out to others about build a support network, not ever issue needs to go to the MD.
5. Try to be proactive, don't wait for them to ask for a status update, send one yourself and make sure they are well informed.
Bucket your questions as much as you can instead of asking questions every 5 minutes
P1 have great advice. Only addition I’d say is have a solution for every question. Frame it as “hey I have this problem / question, I was thinking of doing X to fix it. What do you think?" Shows incentive
Also get coffee when you join the team and figure out expactions/ how much the MD wants to be involved
Talk less, ask “How can I help” more, and you’ll be fine
Go to collections and search for the CDP Analyst Guidebook
Expectation set during your first meeting, How do they like to be informed. What is the best why to reach them, what are their review cycles, if your dealing with a client do they need to be in on meetings.
All of the above is good advice. Especially PwC1 and Deloitte1.
All of it translates to do not waste her or his time.
You can also ask if there is someone s/he trusts to review your work before it gets to them.
It is a great opportunity to learn from a pro. Enjoy it!
My first SC gave me some good advice when I started: don’t suck and be awesome!
Clarify what you are expected to do, try and figure out why and what next. Then see if you help with the “next”. Plus all the advice already provided :)
Proof read your work, stupid mistakes are embarrassing and will be the take away. People won’t care about the 99% you got right
Lol I report to a managing director and after I established trust, he basically didn’t give a fuck and the only things he wanted to be pulled in for were the major conversations. But that could just be his style. Agree with everyone else, figure out their style and give them what they want
