Mckinsey fishes: how common is it to be pulled for a specialty function BA position out of undergrad? Have an upcoming interview with McKinsey but not sure why one of the offices that expressed interest to interview me is considering me for a specialty function rather than general BA (of course, I indicated my interest in that practice). I thought that peoples resumes would be forwarded only to one office, but to my surprise (and delight) my second choice office also indicated interest to interv

I recruited directly into marketing and sales and know lots of people who do practice-aligned recruiting

Can you share a bit about this? DM’d you also! I thought it was only generalist for BA. A bit confused about the structure now. Did they make you choose a functional track, or did you elect to choose one? Why?

Interview me, but for a specialty practice. Do they just not want to consider me for the general role or could it be that they are needing people in that practice function? Would the application process and competition pool be different compared to the regular BA track?

We have generalist BAs but we also have practice aligned Analysts (SWE, analytics, data, product, etc) on a specialist path. Same pay and everything else as a BA but you’ll be staffed to projects for that specific role rather than the general staffing pool

There are specialist track and partner track. Make sure you clarify. You can still be aligned to a specific practice that and be in the partner track. What you want to clearly understand is if you are being tagged for a role as specialist in non-partner track roles, many that exist on the digital and technology side.

Quite a few of digital, risk, and M&S BAs. Less (but exist) PE and S&CF BAs

Yep

What is the specialty practice? Risk? Digital? I had a friend that got pulled for digital specifically due to her prior internship experience.

After you moved in-house, how did you get more comfortable reviewing contracts or counseling on issues you weren’t super familiar with?
