What's wrong with non "senior" level people giving advice? In fact I would say some of the newcomers have a better perspective on "breaking into consulting" as recruiting has changed quite a bit from when some random Partner joined 10 years ago. 🙃

Why someone senior?

By senior, I just mean someone who has been in consulting for a couple years. Im just hoping to get some guidance on entering but also on how to navigate my career in general.

Maybe start with non-MBB consulting and see if you like it

Hi MBB Software Engineer fishes,

I recently applied for a position in one of McKinsey’s recently acquired firm for Senior Software Engineer (Team Lead).

The interview process is so damn easy - A medium level Hackerrank test, interview with company CTO and then behavioural round with a McKinsey Director and offer extended.

Wondering if this is a red flag.
