What should I expect in a first round HR interview for Risk Associate role at McKinsey?

Currently I make a base of $63k/yr and $1k/mo in bonuses pre-tax. I manage a performance for a team of licensed insurance agents (service-based role in a direct business environment), maintain our business relationships, and support adhoc training needs. Is there anyone else in this type of role who is able to share how this compares to similar positions and your general location?

I have 1.5 YoE, finance consulting and interested in EYP M&A Finance. Should I apply now or wait it out?

Its really good seeing people trying to help people who are in a tough position. we never know if we will find ourselves unemployed too. Stick together fishes.

Hi All,

Need some career advice.

I have a year of experience in a clinical ops role where learning is quite stagnant. I’m eagerly looking to transition to good challenging opportunities in life science consulting/analytics and allied domains. Which organisations/startups/roles should one apply to being a non-technical applicant with a masters in biotechnology?

It would be really helpful to get your guidance on further course of action.

TIA!

Anyone else have a positive screener interview with HR, good thank-you email exchange follow-up, and then not hear anything for over a week? This doesn’t seem normal…but I’m still waiting.

Have interviews set up at FAANG co and getting good signals, for a position that was posted widely (all across US) but not remote. Haven’t broached the subject of location yet. Would you (1) early on clearly state that you’re not open to relocation but that you would be open to visiting a big office once or twice a month; (2) not say anything now and wait to get an offer and ask for an exemption; or (3) something else?

Hi fishes, anyone here who can refer me for mechanical engineering roles? I'm aero engine design engineer with 10 years experience working at Bangalore right now. Any referral is really nice appreciated. Thanks

For in-house counsel roles, does firm prestige matter? For example, would the fact that an applicant is from Sullivan & Cromwell vs, say, White & Case matter at all, or is it much more about experience/interview? Does it matter as much as law school credentials? Assuming a mid-level corporate associate seeking to go in-house.

Does anyone get white discolouration on their big toe nails / know what it is? I file it off and it comes off as a kind of white powder, but then comes back. Would love for it to go away so I don’t have to wear nail polish constantly to hide it :(

Hi Fishes

I'm using data jpa to connect to oracle DB in our API.

We have one scenario when the DB is down, then also normal flow should work.

Although it is working fine, but when we are checking the logs it's taking more than 1 second just to identify that the DB is locked, this is not within our SLA.

In the normal case it's processing within 200 ms.

We're using Spring Boot, Hibernate, Oracle 19c

Please provide some valuable suggestions from our side

I miss not being able to turn on a baseball game as background noise while I do work around the house on a Sunday afternoon. It just makes the work seem less of a chore.

Odd request, but does anyone have a post-TCJA international tax law school outline that I can connect with?

Are lifetime earnings in LMM really better than at MBB?

Anyone knows the Post MBA salary at BCG Dubai, starting base + bonus?

Can get advice on TC?
Let’s say your original TC in your current is 300k, but because of stock appreciation, your actual TC now is 500k (same base, same bonus, but stock appreciated). When negotiating with new company, will the new company consider your TC as 500k, or 300k? Thanks

Looking to apply to MBB but I’ve only been at my current B4 firm <1 year. I have a few projects/initiatives to talk about, so I would love to hear if I should wait it out for a better shot or if I could apply as is. Thank you in advance! :-)

What resources are you guys using to prep for the quant portion of the BCG chat bot case? So nothing related to mental math on rocketblocks, but more about the logic of the quant portions

I need a mentor to guide me for a job role in MBB. I have 5 YOE (4.5 years in Manufacturing & Automation 6 months in SaaS) any volunteers?

Anyone from McKinsey Dallas who is willing to chat?

Hi - I have an upcoming conversation with BCG Partner next week. I had reached out to her to understand experienced hire opportunities. What can I expect during this call? My goal is to get an interview.

Anyone in Mckinsey Implementation willing to chat? I am interested in lateraling - I actually enjoy the operations & implementation side of strategy and wanted to make sure I had a clear understanding of the role

I just had a first round interview with BCG, I did ok in one of the interview and did great in the other one. What are my chances of moving to the next round? More info: Based in Canada, there are two 45 mins interview for first round.

Do any of the MBB’s do DD for VC clients?

How do physical science PhDs fair in applying to and receiving offers from MBB?

What is the perception of a McKinsey solution role that is a CSP? Can I exit to tech? Would the role be better than the T2 role I have now?

Anyone in their case prep pay for crafting cases market sizing? Would be happy to Venmo you in order to use for a bit! Got my final round next week and just want to brush up

If you had to choose between applying to McKinsey or BCG, which one would you apply to, and why? (im a consultant at Deloitte in Technology Strategy and Transformation, and would love to stay in tech strategy).
*haven't applied to either yet because i'm still debating if I want to lose the little WLB i have left

McKinsey 🐠: how much did you practice before your case interviews? (i.e. how many weeks / months in advance, how many hours per week, etc?) any tips on most effective ways to prep as an experienced hire coming in at the associate level? (No MBA or finance background so may need some extra prep to learn key concepts / terms)

Anyone willing to give a referral for a McKinsey?

Currently at a T2, thinking about applying to an MBB . Question for you MBB 🐠 — if I have a referral and a solid resume, is it pretty much a guarantee that I will get an interview?
