I remember when I applied to McKinsey (experienced hire), there's a section that asked me to choose my preference of different tracks. I'm curious whether experienced hires enter only as a specialist and don't have a chance to do the generalist track like fresh MBAs?
I am interested in the "Private Equity Practice" and "Strategy & Corporate Finance" track. Could anyone share some views on the candidates McKinsey would prefer for these two tracks? Are they usually from private equity or investment banking?
