Mckinsey Middle East associate to senior associate

Is it normal to not get promoted from associate to senior associate in the first year in mckinsey? Is this movement considered a promotion or it is just 2nd level associates call themselves senior associates. Please advise?

Hi!

It's rather unusual for the promotion to happen within less than a year. 

The first evaluation cycle when you join is by default 'tracking'. And then even if you are ‘distinctive’ on the next one, you'd really have to be a stellar case to be promoted so early. 

In most geographies, Associate to Senior Associate is a formal promotion, but I've also come across situations when people give themselves this sort of title on LinkedIn. 

Good luck!
Cristian

Hi,

Usually time to promotion for the first levels is 24 months, so no worries. Just continue to focus doing a good work and you will be promoted.

Cheers

In McKinsey, it is not common for associates to be promoted to senior associates within the first year. Typically, the promotion from associate to senior associate occurs after a minimum of two years, and it is considered a significant milestone in one's career progression at the firm.

It is a promotion. Yes, most people will be promoted but it is not a guarantee and does not necessarily happen after 12 months. Most of them will be later.
