Hi,

I have been in touch (as a coach) with various candidates who recently applied to various McKinsey Middle East offices like Dubai, Riyadh and Doha.

Feel free to DM in case of any questions, perhaps might be able to help!

hello! 

Yes, I’ve worked with several candidates applying to McKinsey ME and have successfully helped some of them get into the firm through coaching. 

If you’re applying or already in the process, feel free to reach out and I’m happy to share what I’ve seen work for candidates targeting the Middle East.

Best, Alessa :)

Hello,

I was an EM in the Dubai then Riyadh office until 2 weeks ago, and we are definitely still hiring, especially in Doha and Riyadh. I am working with a couple of candidates now for those offices. Do let me know if you want to talk Middle East specifics.

Hi there,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

  • Yes, I have recently helped coachees land interviews and offers at McKinsey in Middle East offices. What exactly is your question?

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming McKinsey Solve pre-interview assessments and/or interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,
