Hi, I am currently working in a Tier 2 consulting firm. I applied to McK and have an interview scheduled with them. Could the McKinsey people please help me understand what is it like to work with McKinsey so that I can better answer the question, "Why McKinsey?" Of couse, I know that Mck is the gold standard when it comes to Consulting. I'd like to be better prepared for the question.

Hi!
It should be your personal research since the reasons may vary in different geographies. Here are some ideas of what you can use to structure your thoughts:
- You can start with general facts about the local office. Something like “Sidney office is the fastest growing McKinsey office worldwide.”
- If you have an interest in a particular industry or client this may also be a great reason. For example, McK can be the only consulting firm working with airlines in your region.
- You may address the different Global opportunities and office initiatives. E.g. international staffing can be a good opportunity to learn about business in a particular country
- Try to combine professional and Non-business rational. If you have friends working in that company, don’t forget to mention them and what you’ve learned from their experience.
- You may use your other personal experiences like working with this McKinsey, it's deliverables or as it's client
- You can provide your personal experience of working with McKinsey Alums
Good luck!

How is a 36-year-old INSEAD MBA candidate with ~10.5 years of pre-MBA experience realistically perceived in MBB/Tier 2 recruiting in the Middle East? Is age a meaningful barrier for post-MBA Associate roles if the candidate is otherwise highly competitive?

Interviewed with Bain Iberia 15 days ago (13th May) and haven’t heard anything back. Sent a follow up yesterday on the 2 week mark. Safe to assume I’ve been rejected they just don’t tell you? I was under the impression that they called to give feedback. Thanks in advance
