McKinsey & Company Is there more competition when you are applying to McKinsey & Company or Boston Consulting Group for an intern position in management consulting or when you are applying as an experienced consultant? Asking cause I got rejected 2 years ago on the case study interview stage for these two as an intern and I am thinking about reapplying next year already as a consultant.

Yeah in terms of difficulty (typically) intern (is more difficult than)>full time undergrad>experienced hire>MBA admit. These days since there has been such a big experienced hire push I’d say experienced hire is tangibly “easier” to get by the numbers, but from what I’ve seen the bar is the bar, it’s just an easier bar to clear for someone who’s been working/developed business acumen than a random college kid

I have always heard that it is harder to join as a summer intern than as a full-time consultant. But at the end of the day you just gotta shoot your shot if you wanna switch

I realize I’m not exactly answering your question, but just some words of encouragement: I was rejected by McK 2 times before receiving an offer as an experienced hire. If it’s where you’d like to end up, keep working and you’ll get there eventually

Referral works, but the person who is referring you should have enough clout in the organization to present your profile!

Looking for some UGC gigs. I can do unboxing and demos. Rates start at $100 for a video, and $20 per photo. which is significantly lower than others in the market. Just trying to get more content creation under my belt. I specialize in social media as a director in a marketing agency, so I know what will perform. Give me a holler if you need UGC for your brands! :)

I was supportive of Lori when this virus first started but her actions since have dwindled my support of her. I don’t expect her to make every decision correct nor do we have to agree with all of them. I believe she should be correct around 75 percent of the time but I believe she is in the 50 percent range. I know everything doesn’t fall on her shoulder but things haven’t been great as of late. Hopefully they figure out something soon.
