Hi Arty,
yes, it will be considered a business experience. In order to apply in McKinsey for non-entry-level roles, you should work in bank for almost 2-3 years for Junior Associate and 4-5 for Associate. On LinkedIn, you could look for path of bank profiles who switched into consulting to make an idea.

Best,
Antonello

Hi Arty,

It would be useful to have more information on the role to provide an answer.

Many of the candidates I helped switching from bank to consulting were coming from IB, which shares more commonalities with a consulting job than a data analyst job.

If you could list your expected activities for your job, that would be useful to provide a recommendation.

Best,

Francesco

Dear Arty,

from my McKinsey experience I can tell you that as an associate you are required to have some specific skills, both hard (eg., being able to read and interprete a financial statement, being able to build a sensitivity analysis, ...) and soft (being able to understand the client's need and being able to lead your workstream/the client end-to-end, from data collection to analysis and final presentation with top-down communication).

When considering the offered position as Data Analyst in bank, ask yourself:

1. Would I interprete data and analysis performances?

2. Would I deal with other colleagues/clients and would I manage/lead them?

3. Would I be fully owner of one specific stream/assignment that I need to manage end-to-end?

4. Would I need to present my analysis to the top management?

This kind of questions could help you understanding if that offered position would allow you to get the skills required as an associate at McKinsey.

Hope it helps! :)

Hi,

Yes, absolutely! McKinsey has banking clients and data analyst experience is especially relevant nowadays. Try to combine analytics with strong people skills in your resume
