Do you mean senior analyst? Or señor associate perhaps?

Not sure if that title formally exists. Some people put senior EM while waiting for AP, when that doesn't exist

It’s a real title, more prevalent in non-US locations.

I have a buddy who is a McK Sr ASC. Lots of industry experience, no MBA. Promoted from kind of a super BA direct to Sr ASC. It’s what McK1 says, effectively associate with some tenure

A peer from bschool left as a BA and went back as Assoc after being sponsored. After a short stint, he was promoted to Sr Assoc so was curious. Thanks for the info!

In some offices there’s a “DTSA” designation. Direct to senior associate. Meaning a BA is promoted to the equivalent of a 1+0 Associate.

What is the typical McKinsey career path (US titles). Also, I have heard of specialist roles — how are those different from traditional roles?

Most folks out of MBA have 5-6 years experience. So ASC for 1.5-2.5 years, EM, then AP.

Hi 👋🏻 Would love some support here - looking to build out a bonus structure for a Sales Engagement Mgr role - it isn't a typical sales role - this person will be closing deals but not necessarily securing leads. If they will be scoring leads, it will be organic via conferences, partnerships. Of course, we want to encourage and incentivize this person. Potentially giving then an extra 20-50k bonus potential. How do I build this out? Any suggestions or examples would be super helpful. Thank you!!
