McKinsey & Company Question - I’m being interviewed for a defense and security specialist position. What should I expect and is this different from the Associate track? Thanks!

I’d ask in the main bowl if I were you. I’m sure you’d get a few responses from the non-Fed McKinsey folks who might have some insight.

Good luck!

Interesting. Is this a new role for them? My understanding is that in the past McKinsey would just temporarily pull people from commercial as needed for occasional defense projects taking place in their very small federal practice.

I don’t know if it’s new. Thanks Deloitte 1. How come no one from McK has answered to provide some insight?

Because people are working or this bowl is not as popular as you think it is?

What bowl do you suggest?

Thanks!! What’s the main bowl? Is that the actual name?

Why do leaders keep comparing how “good”the new staff/seniors have it because they make more money starting out then they did and working 55 hours is better than the 70-80 hours they used to work? Instead they should compare what options they have available to them and what their goals are.

I am considering an offer for an AE role (UK-LDN) where the base is £42k & OTE is £70k. The Regional GM has verbally promised to move it up to £50k base if I perform well during the probationary period, but I can’t have it in writing on the contract. I’ve tried to counter offer but they said I’m currently maxing the salary band (L4). This role is exciting as I’d be the first UK employee, doing the full sales cycle & more but I had the same base and ote as an SDR. Is it too low? Do I take it?

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
