Don't you get "counseled out" at McK?
Why? Also your life is more important than a job. You can always find another job. Prioritize yourself. But also are you really going to get fired? Things aren’t always as bad as we think. Be positive!

Personal island type early retirement if you have the right last name
I feel like there’s a story to share
All of us from T2’s and Big4’s are circling for that referral lol
Take some time off and go somewhere else!
The bar for getting hired into MBB is very high and getting fired is equally so, so that essentially you are trapped once you are inside, unless you make a conscious attempt to get out of the bubble. Of course if you do something that violates values, then sure, there is no hiding, but that would be true for any company
Agree with Manager 2. The up or out culture is a self fulfilling prophecy in that many folks (part of a class of incoming consultants), all of whom are Type A personalities, themselves leave if they cannot progress to the next step in ladder within 6-12 months of their class, otherwise they risk falling behind their class. No one wants to be an Associate staffed to a manager who was once a peer. This is not to say you are being expelled from the Firm. If you do get an issues rating for poor performance, there is always enough work happening in these firms to focus on your areas of strength - for example, if you are weak on analytics, take up work that has less of it, e.g. organization redesign and human capital strategy
How is severance at McK? If you have something lined up, severance is like bonus !!
What are you going to do after you get fired?
