McKinsey & Company Has any industry experienced candidates pivot to MBB Engagement Manager before? My roommate works at FAANG as Senior Analyst (Ops, 6+ YOE) and was approached by McKinsey & Company recruiter for an EM role. He hasn’t done consulting before. Would this be too much of a risk? His goal is to pivot to PE S&O eventually.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

There is an old negotiation adage that says, “if the negotiations don’t feel awkward then you’re on the losing side and don’t know it”.
We are at the end of the year now is a perfect time to bring that up. However, you need to be prepared. Are you tracking everything that you’ve done/accomplished this year? Do you have results for each of those accomplishments? Think about people in your area doing your same work, are you accomplishing as much if not more than they are? Have you looked at similar roles in the industry and what they get paid? Have you even looked on your own website for internal roles that are similar to yours and found out what the pay bands are? Start there.
- Do bring what you’ve contributed and accomplished throughout the year, along with hard data published online about salaries and where you rank.
- Don’t ask because you think you deserve it, heard someone less qualified makes more, or you been in a role for X years.
As someone is HR it's more of a long game - but you're absolutely right to bring it up. My approach and what I typically see is, raised the topic with a manager in a 1:1, in order to dedicate time in a subsequent call or 1:1.
The big thing is having these conversations before you get to a performance management cycle, so there are no surprises, you hit the goal you set, you can come armed with facts and your chances of getting that raise are better. Also, bring market research on salaries for your position, within your industry and at your experience level (Pay scale, Robert Half, Mercer, etc. - other HR and Pay resources)
I also recommend create a business case or at minimum tracking all your wins this year in a deliverables/achievements tracker, which you can share and reference during the call.
My best advise is to give the a heads up on the call, so you're both aware of conversation, but then come prepared to state your case and prove WHY you should get that raise.
Ask for a one-on-one, but be prepared. Know what the industry standard is for your years of experience in your geographical area. It wouldn't hurt to be able to provide some examples of contributions you've made to projects, and money you've saved the company.
