Too old for Associate? I am 33 and have an upcoming phone screening with McKinsey for an Associate position. Has anyone had experience going through this as an “older” candidate with no MBA?

Thanks!

Fam - need some uplifting. Has anyone done something that was so publicly embarrassing at work that you felt it was a career ruiner? How did you recover?

How do you guys deal with anxiety in the workplace? Struggling a bit.

Can anyone refer me for Pune location, I'm having 3 years of experience in vivo as Senior IT Analyst.

Ideas on how to capitalize on all of these protests? Surely it's a trend that won't end soon...

What do you do when you’re on the bench and your next project starts in 2 weeks?

Hi all-
I was going to be preparing myself for an interview for a T2 firm. I have about 7 months to prepare for the interview but am overwhelmed by a lot of conflicting advice on how to prepare. I am generally not the best interviewer but am confident of being a good fit for consulting.

I wanted to ask if anyone in a similar position (not great at interviews) managed to overcome this and how. I really want to nail this and am willing to spend a lot of time and energy to put myself through.

Feeling hopeless and alone at work

Hi everyone! I’m pivoting from working in politics in search of a role in DEI. I have 1.5 YOE managing multiple campaigns and a BA in Global Studies & MA in Ethnology. I have experience working in and with non-profits and a passion for people and culture. I’d love to connect to hear about your journeys & advice for an early career transition!

I am a nuclear physicist and every time I am asked what I do and I answer the question, the next comment always comes in a mocking tone: "so you make bombs? Nuclear is not only about making bombs, a nuclear reactor is a bomb indeed, but not only can it be used to explode. It can also be used to generate clean energy for example.

What's with the McKinsey certifications? E.g. "Business Strategy was issued by McKinsey" What does it entail? who pays for it? Information or skill based? Etc.

Anyone in Mckinsey Implementation willing to chat? I am interested in lateraling - I actually enjoy the operations & implementation side of strategy and wanted to make sure I had a clear understanding of the role

M fish - is there anyway to defer an offer for medical reasons? I expect not but just curious. Have had a wholly unexpected situation arise and am slated to start in 6 weeks.

Got contacted by a McKinsey recruiter for experienced hire interview (position I applied for) and she connected me directly to the partner due to my domain expertise. Partner liked my expertise and gave thumbs up. What would be the next step? Do I need to go through other interviews (exp/case interviews) still or does this mean process is being expedited since my area of expertise is in demand?

Anyone know the raise amounts for BCG yet?

What does it take to pass final rounds?

I did decently well on all components (framework, brainstorming, exhibits) but made 2 calculation mistakes with one interviewer… already anxious as I wait for news

Hello! Any one in here who can give me a referral for a position at McKinsey and BCG? Thanks in advance!!

I am hearing that MBB is pausing majority of the interviews - should I be worried about my offer getting rescinded? I luckily got my offer a few months ago and received my signing bonus already.

McK 🐠 can you work in PEPI practice in any office? Anyone in PEPI in the Midwest offices willing to chat? I’m currently in a T2 firm PE practice.

Prepared for two month while working. Failed two MBB final rounds. Thinking about reapplying next year. How should I prepare myself for that in this one year?

Best way to improve mental math rapidly? I have 8 days

does the mckinsey survey mean anything more than nothing? gotta assume a referral trumps the survey

Is it true at McK that your bonus is just added to your salary for the next year?

Hello fishies! Looking to connect with a BCG-er for a conversation + referral (if you think I would be a fit). I can give more details in a DM. I’m looking to transition early next year. Thank you!

What is the MBB admissions rate for HSW, approximately?

For those of you 🐠 who worked at another consulting firm before joining MBB, what would you say are the biggest differences between them?

Currently at a T2, thinking about applying to an MBB . Question for you MBB 🐠 — if I have a referral and a solid resume, is it pretty much a guarantee that I will get an interview?

Looking to apply to MBB at 1-2 YOE after undergrad. Undergrad GPA isn’t bad, but not MBB quality. Will it help if I take the GMAT early and include the score on my app? How high is good enough? 750+?

If you break into MBB through an implementation arm can you transfer practices (e.g. procurement implementation to Marketing & Sales)

What resources are you guys using to prep for the quant portion of the BCG chat bot case? So nothing related to mental math on rocketblocks, but more about the logic of the quant portions
