I know the generalist BAs at McKinsey receive a $90,000 salary (U.S.), but do specialized BAs receive the same? For example BAs who work in a specific practice such as Marketing & Sales or Operations. Everyone from school whom I know works at McKinsey as a gernalist BA, so I never realized specializing in a practice area is an option.

Hey there,
Yeah, salaries should be equal for same-level position within the same country in McKinsey. Sometimes there are some minute differences and special contracts.
Cheers,
Florian

Hi everyone! I’ve been contacted by Deloitte for an interview, and they told me to focus on innovation-related business cases. Any tips or examples on what to expect?
