Associate /Senior Associate
or VP is possible if its a LMM

If you have no PE deal team experience, why would a PE firm hire you for a position above Associate? You need to learn the basic skills still…

Why does it seem like so many EMs want to leave McKinsey lol

As someone who is not super familiar with the consulting industry but looking to make a post mba career change, what is the draw of MBB? What skills do you develop, specific types of resources do you get access to, etc. ?
