Is DC a competitive office to get into for McKinsey?

No, we hire anyone for DC. Last BA class was mostly high school dropouts and random people the managing partner met on the metro. 😉

Seriously, there aren’t prestigious offices. New joiners will sometimes try to convince themselves that NYO or SFO are more
competitive or better than, say, Dallas but it’s silliness. The bar is the bar. You’re all going to be sitting in the same team room, doing the same ops project in Indiana at some point.

Facts

The “competitiveness” just is a factor of how many people apply (ie. NYO always has a ton of applicants because it’s New York). The bar is the same regardless of office.

We’ll never know without numbers 🤷🏻‍♀️

Summer intern at BCG. I've been told by a few people that you need to spend your first few cases "earning your stripes" to gain staffing optionality or be servile/loyal to a pyramid to gain access to the cooler case work within that PA. It's seemed particularly emphasized at times.
