McKinsey & Company McKinsey & Company been working here one year and received pretty positive feedback. Given the expectation for people of my tenure to transition to EM in a year or so, I can’t see myself staying due to the WLB as an EM. I’m 35 and have 2 young kids. Can it even be realistically done? Would love to stay but I don’t see a balance which would keep my family happy. What options do I have from there?

I don't think so it promotes slowly.I moved from A to M in 6.5 years, and know people who have made it in 6 years. I believe promotion is entirely a function of whether you make the role above you redundant. Also, there are many stories floating around- it takes x many years moving from one role to another. I know an associate who is an exceptional performer and he got promoted in less than 20 months. I would say keep up the good work and trust the system. Don't believe in what you hear, as mostly it's an experience of couple of people. Be skeptical.

Reason PhDs leave is they are typically 2-2.5 years behind MBA folks when often they are performing at the same level of many 1 yr consultants.
I’ll add - our manager level is much more like a junior partner elsewhere (harder than EM at other firms) - you’re responsible for sourcing and selling your own work as well as project delivery
I agree!! M is way underpaid and is the hardest role.
