The bar to convert to a full time offer is basically did you show up with a pulse

I hope you’ll hold yourself to a higher standard, but the bar is really almost nonexistent

Thanks! Yeah, seems like it’s harder to not get a return offer

Don't say anything dumb in front of a partner and you'll be fine

Lol yeah it’s extremely easy to get a return, almost guaranteed. Some tips though:
1) Be likeable and begin to develop repoire in the office/with partners. Always good to cultivate your brand early.
2) Learn how to leverage our supporting resources, and minimize the amount of time you spend in excel and ppt when possible (if you’re good at leveraging support services you can really cut dramatic amounts of time out of your analysis).
3) Get involved with an initiative outside of your study - try to be “that intern” that gets plugged in.
4) Try to siphon other top talent from your school to McK - if you acquire top talent for us you’ll be remembered for it by recruiting, and if you do it with your offices lead recruiting partner you’ll even carve out more executive reputation.
5) Set up informational interviews! Learn what different studies entail, and begin to “make your McKinsey”

Hi everyone, I am looking for advice on getting to the same company but in a different country. I had an internship at multinational FMCG company in purchasing in country 1 (5 ys ago). I then went studying abroad to country 2 and stayed doing the jobs which came with the visa - sales/accounting/marketing but all for really small companies (20 e-s max). I keep dreaming about getting back to FMCG co but in country 2. Applied directly/chatted to ex coworkers in country 1 - no luck. Any advice?

Needing help on deciphering my true salary for the time being. I graduated at 17 with an associate’s in Cyber Defense. The company I am with has me listed as a field service specialist(6 month intern, 4month full time), however, I’ve picked up on different roles like project manager, systems admin, project engineer etc. I’ve been getting good experience but at what point do I need to discuss salary or move on? I’m currently making 45k which I feel like is low after gaining some insight .

I have 2 offers as mentioned below(1 year Internship + 11 months Full-time experience):
1. Adobe (MTS-1 Bangalore) - 15.3L fixed + 3L Joining Bonus + $27000 Stock for 4 years
2. Qualcomm (Engineer - Hyderabad)- 15.6L fixed + 5L Joining Bonus + $10000 Stock for 3 years
Which one should be considered?
How are both companies with respect to Work Life Balance, learning, hikes, future opportunities and on-site travel opportunities?

Got an offer to work at a boutique PE fund as an intern for the next few months. The role is however unpaid and the fund is new.

For some background, I’m going to be starting at a T-2 firm doing CDD for PE funds in January. Wondering if getting this kind of experience looks good when I apply to analyst roles 1-2 years out? Don’t want to work without getting paid unless the experience is valuable. Would love any perspective on this.

Hi! I just got converted to full time as a intern, and received this email about 401k which I don’t quite understand. Does the 3% means the match that company gives to me for free? So I don’t have to contribute anything to my 401k while getting free 3% match money? Thank you!!

Extremely frustrated that after 4+ years and multiple asks, I’m not getting the in-field construction experience I’ve asked for. I know that my designs could be better if I could see how things are actually built but I get slapped in the face with “I need you in the office designing/drafting” or “there’s no budget to have you go out” and then sends an intern to inspect instead. I’m 5 yrs out of college. Any advice?
