Hi there,

You're essentially asking about expert/specialist track. You would not come in as a specialist/expert but rather a generalist hire.

This is not a problem!

I can assure you that most experienced hires actually come in as generalists, and they still do quite well. specialists/experts only happen if you're coming in at the manager/project lead level and/or you have many many years of industry experience.

Source 2: Myself (I was in IT Consulting for 4 years, did my MBA, and aced all 8 of my interviews for all but 2 generalist roles)

Hi there,

Experienced hire just means that you are not directly hired after graduation but have several years of work experience under your belt (e.g., for McK Germany this usually is >3 years of full-time work experience).

You can join as an experienced hire both as a

• generalist
• expert

depending on your experience and the available positions.

Cheers,

Florian

Depending on the firm and role you can come in as a specialist/expert or generalist. Both are fine and depends on fit both ways- you and the firm.

I joined as an experienced hire after MBA as a generalist and then moved to more specialised roles over the years.

Hi, I confirm if you are not joining a specific practice you can join as a generalist even if you are an MBA hire

Best,
Antonello
