Growth in an Expert role in McKinsey

Hi,

McKinsey has changed the org in recent years and now you have a partner track at expert positions. However, it still takes longer than for the generalist. On the bright side - the competition is lower and it's easier to build a case for promotion. Especially in data science - a hot topic right now.

Coming back to your case - Director in F500 could be a better title. It's a bit hard to say since depending on the company Director can be either a very high position, or a standard post MBA

Hello!

McKinsey changed the carreer path structure in the past couple of years and indeed there are plenty of expert partners -I got them in more than half of my engagements, including one that was actually Advanced Analytics Expert Partner-.

It should not take longer than in the normal track -I know several cases that did it in the same time-.

Regarding the trade-off, it´s difficult to say without knowing more details about the other offer. However, the McK one is defenetly one to be taken into consideration -AA is growing crazy in McKinsey-.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara

Hi,
I confirm the expert path lead to the partnership. Even if in terms of current position a director in F500 may be better than a senior expert in McK, the growth opportunities overturn the situation potentially in only 3 years.
