McKinsey Offer

Congrats on the offer. I second the answers already given: McK will teach you what you need (or at least give you access to the requirwd resources).

If you want to get a leg up though (and i think you should), do the following:

- be really solid on excel; SQL and data scrapping can help too

- get used to work without a mouse. Keyboard shortcuts are tour friends. Most of us routinely use dozens in both Excel and PowerPoint

- PowerPoint will be your life for the foreseeable future, so make sure to review a bit [note: McK will have an add-on with tons of amazing shortcuts so dont waste too much time here]

- Enjoy your free time and bed while you can

I had the same thought when I first joined and my advice would be to enjoy the break doing things you probably won't have time to do once work picks up.

If you do want to learn something, in addition to the advice above, I would say invest time reading about sectors you want to specialize in or have a strong affinity towards. The other things that is always in demand is the ability to use analytics software such as tableu or to pull data using SQL

Most of all don't worry too much about it - they are excellent at training!
