Hello,
I have an offer as a sr. specalist role at McKinsey in expert track in data science. What are the growth options for the expert track as compared to traditional track? Is becoming a partner in expert track difficult and how long does it take to get to one?
I also have a tenative offer as a director at a fortune 500 corporation. Is it better to join McKinsey or a corporation as a director in terms of future growth opportunities?
Update: The director role is in a large multinational industrial company with revenue of 25+ B. It is a senior role, but not high enough to be an executive role (director -> sr. director -> vp). The growth in the company is bound to be slow though (3-5 years to promotion), considering folks I have spoken to in the company.

Thanks for the response, Sidi. My offer is in NA, so I expect that the travel will a bit less global. Also, do you know what kind of exit options are available at senior expert level if partnership doesn't work out?
