McKinsey & Company What exactly is McKinsey Squads from McKinsey's POV? I was invited but I'm not entirely sure what to expect, or how I was selected. Also any advice going into coffee chats? Thanks!

A McKinsey squad is a small team of 8-10 employees who generally have a lot of autonomy in how they achieve their goals. A squad leader is assigned, who keeps the team on track and provides feedback when needed. It's definitely a good sign to be invited to one as it can help with the recruiting process down the line. I say show up to one and see what happens :)

Wow, I'd never heard of these before. Are they something new? Sounds like an innovative way to go about things.

I'm almost done with my IT degree and I have no idea what I want to do once I'm done. Any task given, I give 100%. So I'm good or capable of many things but I haven't found the one thing that I like or want to work towards. All signs point to data analyst, but I'm not so sure. If Garcia's job, from Criminal Minds, was a legit job, that's the job I would want. I knew going in that I wanted to do something in cyber security, but now I'm not so sure. I feel like I've wasted so much time.
