No.
Upon joining you will be asked to sign a no second activity policy, which bounds your professional activity to the MBB only.
Very few exceptions are allowed, freelancing or formal contracts are not on the list.
Best,
Luis

Hi,
For BCG that is not allowed. So imagine the same is true for other two.
Best,

Even if it was allowed, you likely won't have the mental bandwidth nor the control over your schedule to do this reliably. It's only when you reach more senior positions like AP/Partner where board memberships and non-profit contributions would be allowed, but EMs and below typically don't hold any other responsibilities.

Does rejection from the McKinsey and Company case workshop hinder my ability to apply for the open roles in London, and will I be subject to the 12-month waiting period?

Hi I work as a private equity / M&A lawyer in London considering a shift to MBB. My attraction stems from the more commercial / strategic thinking I believe consulting will give me and I can later leverage that to either pivot to (i) industry; or (ii) private equity. Thoughts?
