Differences in Associate and Analyst positions at McKinsey?

Business Analyst vs junior associate

I applied to McKinsey as business analyst. I've passed CV screening. I just realized that there's an opening for junior associate  in my preferred location. Can I submit another application? I have a bachelor's degree and 2 years of work experience in business management and development.

Hi San,

Please raise this point with HR. In all the cases the process is the same, so you will have to go through it and it will be up to your interviewers to recommend the level at which you join.

I hope this helps!

Hi San,

Junior Associate is the level above Business Analyst. It pays more, requires a few more years of experience, and involves more responsibilities.

I quite like this infographic from igotanoffer:

McKinsey offers w/o final round interviews - 100% risk-free - 10+ years MBB coaching experience - Multiple book author

Hi San,

Depending on your work experience you might qualify also for the higher-ranked junior associate.

Best way to proceed: grab your phone and call your HR contact to discuss your individual situation!

Hope that helps - if so, please be so kind to give it a thumbs-up with the green upvote button below!

Ex-McKinsey final round interviewer | Executive Coach

The junior associate role really depends on the office. Best to discuss with Recruiting team who often will make the suggestion if it makes sense. There's no need to send another application and it might make sense to pass your first round interview first as the process is the same and also gives the team more conviction why you should be considered for a JA position.

For example in the London office, typically 2 years of work experience (IBD, PE, start up, government, etc.) would be considered as a BA where as JA has a PhD/MD or 2-3 years of transferable working experience wuch as consulting (often incl. a promotion) but no MBA.
