Hi, 

I'm interested in switching to strategy consulting, I currently have 5 years of industry experience in business functions and currently doing my masters at a target business school.

I got introduced to a senior partner at McKinsey for a possible opportunity, The partner sent me an email “looking forward to connect” what do you think is the best way to take it from here?

Should I ask for a quick call?
or, an informal dinner meeting? 
or, should I write a short introduction in an email?

I assume that the person who introduced me, has already shared my CV with him.

Hi there,

Great job getting introduced!

You should write a (very) short intro email. Provide a sentence or two about yourself and your interest in the firm/role.

Ask a question and say you have a few but are also conscious of their time. Thank them for any time they can spare.

Let them offer the call. Please don't be so forward as to propose dinner!

Good luck!

Hi there, 

well done! This shows a great initiative. 

I would recommend to send an introduction (killer) email with your CV and ask for a quick chat/coffee. Partners are extremally busy and they may refer you to someone to take it from there. 

 I wouldn't recommend dinner.

Good luck!

Lucie

Hey! 

I would suggest introduce yourself and ask for 10 min coffee chat where you can quickly ask him for advice !  would avoid asking lunch / dinner at this stage 

Hope this helps!
