I recently applied for the Junior Associate position at McKinsey Abu Dhabi and completed the Solve assessment, achieving 550 (10th decile).I graduated less than a year ago from Audencia Business School with a Master's in Management, specializing in Finance.
During my studies, I gained professional experience through work-study programs at Stellantis and BAME, both in finance-related positions.I am currently based in Dubai, conducting independent financial markets research while looking for a full-time opportunity that aligns with my career goals.
I have 2 questions:
- Given my background and Solve score, how competitive would my profile be for a first-round interview?
- How does McKinsey typically evaluate work-study experience for recent graduates applying to Junior Associate positions?
thank you!
