McKinsey & Company Has any industry experienced candidates pivot to MBB Engagement Manager before? My roommate works at FAANG as Senior Analyst (Ops, 6+ YOE) and was approached by McKinsey & Company recruiter for an EM role. He hasn’t done consulting before. Would this be too much of a risk? His goal is to pivot to PE S&O eventually.

Hm. I’d say like 70/30? We’re a relatively new group so business development (eg proposals, client meeting prep) is a large point of our time
Is there an example of a typical week? Eg 9am to midnight monday to thurs, 9 am to 6 pm friday, a couple of hours over weekend? In that example it is a 70 hour week. Is this too high of an estimate?
If on an CDD engagement, average hours are probably 60-70. We work at least 9-9 on weekdays but Friday’s / weekends are generally ok
Across a year, a typical average work week probably averages 55 instead. Our non-project weeks are more lax, where 40-50 hours is generally more typical
