There’re strategy studies in all practices, but some have more/less than the others. Digital in particular seems to have quite few… I know the “Digital strategy is strategy too!” line of thinking. But honestly it’s not board-level kind of work.

Strategy and Corporate Finance, as you’d guess from the name, is where our pure-play corporate/BU strategy sits. The other question is tough to answer, but I am guessing based on your phrasing that you value strategy/want to do it predominantly - I am in the same boat. In my time with McK, I have been staffed exclusively on strategy engagement (my longest case has been 8 weeks), and have seen Strat&CorpFin, Growth Marketing Sales, M&A (pre and post deal), Organization work, Sustainability. I have avoided digital like the plague, it just doesn’t interest me.

Each associate is going to have a different number from 1-9, I don’t think there is an average for these numbers, nor I think 2-3 people responses here about their exposure to each one of those will be meaningful

All of these are “big enough” for you to spend all/most of your time only working with it, maybe not sustainability but def the others

I’d consider “strategy” only 7 and part of the work we do in 1 (digital) and 2 (Growth, M&S)

A lady came and asked where are we from, and “why are you two men in this mall? This is for female only”. I said this mall sells products for all genders. She said she has walked all floors and never saw a thing for men. Then she threw curse at me. I stood up and asked her to repeat what she said. She pulled her phone and called 911
