I have an interview for a TPM role that I didn't technically apply to (my resume got passed along). I work in a technical environment but dont have a technical background. Do I actually have a real shot??
How technical are TPM roles? I know how to talk to technical people but not make technical decisions myself. Amazon Project Kuiper.

McKinsey & Company McKinsey & Company been working here one year and received pretty positive feedback. Given the expectation for people of my tenure to transition to EM in a year or so, I can’t see myself staying due to the WLB as an EM. I’m 35 and have 2 young kids. Can it even be realistically done? Would love to stay but I don’t see a balance which would keep my family happy. What options do I have from there?

Wow <40 in strategy. How is this possible 🤔
I'm same level in strategy and in the same boat. I really enjoy what I do, but feel like I can perform at a higher level than am being expected to today. Ivy League background and work < 40 hours / week with top ratings. I just feel like I'm holding myself back from really putting my whole self into my work because I don't need to. I have great work life balance so maybe I should also be giving more weight to that. Thoughts?
@OP try smaller or satellite offices
What level is the equivalent you're trying to move to?
Still needing help to translate. Thinking engagement manager means a senior PL or Principle. I don't know of many who have ever lateralled in like that. You would basically have to be able to bring over a client and have done consulting for 6+ years?
Why do you want to move now?
Just bored with what I do. Not particularly digging the direction my practice is growing in.
Thanks McK1. The recruiter that I connected with told me that I can only come to McK either as a fresher or as an SMR. But I'll start looking at other offices.
BCG1 I would think atleast as an engagement manager.
@mck I used to lead teams of 6-8 working 90-100 hour weeks in industry when far less experienced. Now lead teams of 3-4 with far less expected of us, so very efficiently plan, delegate and push back
@a1 what kind of consulting do you do? Don't think there's a mbb equivalent where you just manage the team.
A1 trying really hard to prove themselve
