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

Without having the formal education or PM experience, only my 5 years in QA experience. When I started I made $65k and have jumped to $78k. I have seen other companies post $100k+. Annual review is tomorrow. Should I fight for more or look for more somewhere else if I lose that fight?
