I was rejected by McKinsey with a feedback that my problem solving skills are insufficient for an Associate level position. They mentioned that if I were applying for an Analyst role, they would gladly accept me.

The question is: what are the differences between those roles? What exactly McKinsey expects from Associates in terms of problem solving that isn't required for Analysts?
