McKinsey & Company How likely is McKinsey to rescind an offer if there's a recession/downturn before my start date? Received an Associate offer with a start date early in the Fall. But I'm worried about the offer being rescinded due to the ongoing McK scandals/issues and a potential recession in the making (which may prompt them to freeze hiring and/or renege offers).
Has this happened to anyone before at McKinsey, offer getting rescinded due to economic/company downturn? A bit worried

I don’t sit in DC / Mclean but have friends that do. FDD roles are pretty similar in any city. If your primary focus is work life balance I would be cautious getting into FDD. Schedules are highly unpredictable and hours can be very long. That being said, it’s sort of luck of the draw on the deals you get staffed on. Not every project is an an absolute sprint.
FDD pretty similar across regions as stated. Expect buy side projects to last 3-4 weeks maybe longer and sell side much longer. Travel is unpredictable...if buy side maybe one management meeting (assuming deal is local office). If sell side expect weekly travel to client site. That said, M&A experience 100% worth it. Opens way more doors than audit.
I will caveat that I have not worked at Pwc FDD in Tysons, but I do know 4 people that have gone there and have since left. I’ve heard the work hours there are insane and worse than other FDD offices because of heavy work load for a large pe client. Turnover is a major problem as the majority quit between 6 months to 2 years. If you are married to the dc area, I would suggest looking at ey or kpmg for a slightly better work life balance.
One positive for Pwc is due to enormous turnover, it’s relatively easy to get a job there as compared to ey or kpmg.
