McKinsey & Company I am joining the McKinsey & Company Boston office in late July and searching for housing in the meantime. If I could get some insight on the ratio of days in the office vs work from home that would be super helpful!
If I need to come into the office regularly I will try to find a place close by.

AC here with a PhD background. Chicago
Some advice OP:
1. As others on this thread said, MBB is not as active in hiring at your level as they were a few months ago, especially at your level. You'll likely have better luck in March/April.
2. ZS utilization right now is a bit low - hang in there. You'll get staffed soon enough.
3. For PhDs, do be careful at MBB. Given up or out, if your background doesn't line up with with MBB needs, it might be a tough gig.

@OP, you literally just got to ZS. Why not kill it there for a year or two, then try jumping to MBB?
Thanks for your advice. I guess I was sort of frustrated for not getting stuffed yet. Feeling much better now.
At least some southern offices in a hiring freeze (source: McK recruiter)
It’s the worst time of year - all of the campus hires are starting now so capacity is ramping.
What level are you? What’s your background? What region? Been in similar shoes but need a bit more details from you to answer your questions appropriately.
If you get in, sure
