Hi there, 

After 12-24 months, if you perform well, you would be move up to the next level. 

The reason why it is a range - there could be candidates who already have some career experience before they apply to Analyst role, and depending on how much experience and how relevant the experience, the candidate might get tenure credit, e.g.. join as a 2nd year Analyst. 

Best,

Emily

McKinsey occasionally launches targeted regional programs to hire professionals at specific levels (historically, they had such programs available for different levels). These initiatives involve slight adjustments to the recruiting process for the targeted roles. In this case, they are looking to bring more junior talent to LATAM. After 12–24 months, you will either be promoted to the regular consulting track or gain valuable experience to enhance your resume for opportunities at other companies—a win-win scenario.

Yes, of course. They want to keep talent in house. If you perform well, they WANT you to say.

Hi there,

The reality is that every consulting job at McKinsey (or any other top consulting firm) follows the up-or-out principle = comes with the risk of being let go if you don't progress in time or if demand is low. 

For this program, similarly, it likely depends on your performance and the demand at the end of the period.

All the best,

Florian

Hey there ?,

Yes, that Analyst role in Latin America is part of McKinsey’s 12–24 month entry-level program, which is super common in certain regions. The great news is that it’s not a fixed-term contract—many people continue at the firm after that period.

Basically, after 12–24 months, you’re typically evaluated for a promotion to Associate, or in some cases, encouraged to pursue an MBA with the option to return. So yes, you can absolutely stay at McKinsey beyond the program, depending on your performance and goals.

If you’re thinking about applying and want help with the process, I’m happy to support you! ?

Best, Alessa ?
