Hi All,
Thanks for reading my post. I graduated from an established but public 4-year university in 2016 cum laude. I've helped grow a start-up for a couple of years in strategy and marketing as a Marketing Director. Now I work at a small manufacturing business and went from Marketing Director to Director to Internal Operations. I have found I'm really passionate about strategic growth. Once I learned about large-scale consulting, I felt as though I would thoroughly enjoy it. There is a McKinsey location near me and I was considering applying next year after I have finished some personal goals (learning a second language, becoming more proficient in data science, as well as completing some internal structuring at my current company). I will have a little over 4 years of experience under my belt when I apply.
Do you think I have a good chance to get into McKinsey with my background? If so, should I consider a business analyst position or an associate role? What can I be learning to become more well-rounded for the role?
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you
