McKinsey & Company McKinsey & Company when applying for a BA role, is it best to indicate interest in the areas for which it asks (M&A, Risk, etc.)? It gives the option to select interested, somewhat interested, or not interested.
Are these functional alignments for after the 2 years as BA? Thank you in advance!

BAs are not aligned to functions. They come as generalists and can build their expertise in any of the functions they are interested in

Yes after some time, you can get proficiency badges L1/L2 etc. To get aligned with a industry. In that process of getting the proficiency I believe you’re also paired with mentors.

Also M3, not a lot are aligned already. I think majority start as generalists unless they are laterals?

Some practices have BA's aligned to that particular one (like McKinsey Digital). But most don't and if you're applying to a generalist position, you don’t specialize until a little later

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again. My previous experience includes time at B4 audit up to senior level and then transitioned to manager in industry. Senior/manager roles are preferred.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.
