Mckinsey 🐟🐠 - Anyone have insights into applying to Asian offices (greater China/Singapore) as a second generation Chinese-Canadian? I am fluent in the language but have never studied/worked in those regions except for a brief exchange semester. How should I go about it without any connection to those local offices?

Just apply to roles in those specific offices. I applied to a posting in the US w/ no connection to McKinsey and got an interview - it happens frequently. Wouldn’t worry about the fact you haven’t lived there extensively.

Thanks fellow 🐠

There isn’t really a big advantage to knowing Mandarin in Singapore FYI. China definitely.

Thanks friend for the info

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?
