McKinsey & Company What are the international requirements for McKinsey & Company? I wanted to apply to Germany, but even though I have a recommendation letter from an ex McK manager, a referral from a McK manager and recently got promoted to SC with above average performance, I’ve heard that I don’t have a chance getting into the first round due to my high school grades. Is this the case in every country, or just in Germany again? I would consider applying to UK, Canada, or Australia.

They look at high school grades for experienced hire ? Lol

like

Yes they do 😂 In Germany you are not worthy if you fail once in your life!!
Don’t know if it was a joke but in Austria they even ask for grades from elementary school.

funny

I have never heard of anyone having to submit high school grades?

For experienced hires, I believe grades are not as important as with a grad hire. But even for graduates I thought they only check Uni grades.

I am from Belgium but work in London. You should consider moving if this is hindering your career prospects that much.

Also at a certain seniority, surely they wont ask for high school grades right?

I am from Germany and interviewed with McKinsey awhile back. While I don’t share the same experience of having my Gymnasium transcripts checked, it does not surprise me at all.

Unless you have right to work or are presently in the country, highly unlikely McK will consider an application into another country - especially the US.

Yes - UK McK office will usually not unless straight after MBA at a target US school or Insead, or at partner level. Getting a UK visa without having studied in the UK is quite challenging (though not impossible). It’s just a lot for a company to go through, and often McK doesn’t.

From what I heard from partners in Canada and Australia, it’s the same. Long term visas for Australia are super difficult to get to. Canada is easier but again doesn’t happen often.

US is super difficult, especially if you come from a country with a long green card line. In some cases they’ll start you elsewhere and then transfer you over on L1 but that visa is near impossible to transfer to another company so you gotta wait for your green card or forever be tied to McK (and L1 is only 7 years max).

Only place it’s a common occurrence (and even then it’s reducing) is the Middle East.

Any recommendations on getting into wine? I love other specialty beverages (3rd wave coffee, craft beer), but struggle to “figure out” wine.

The ability to get involved with local beer and coffee producers has been a huge factor for me, so I’m guessing the comparative lack of local wine producers has contributed to me struggling to understand more of the process, culture, tasting notes, etc.
