McKinsey 🐠, any intel on the Practice Manager role? I've had a phone screen and been invited to interview, but I know little about the role. Sounds mostly internal, but they can deploy PMs to projects if needed. How is pay and WLB? Is this kind of role suitable for people with top 10 MBAs and client facing consulting experience at a non-MBB firm?

It’s an internal facing role where they run point between staffing, internal priorities, knowledge, senior partner pet projects etc. Once in a blue moon, they help out with client work but it’s rare.

I would note that PMs are a pure cost center so whenever we come under economic pressure, like last year, the roles usually come under pressure with people either shifting to client facing roles (with varying degrees of success) or leaving.

How do the exit options look? I'd mostly want to do this for 1-2 years to get McK on my resume, but it isn't clear if there is much value in this case unless I basically try to trick recruiters. And any thoughts on WLB?
