Hi all!
Could you please advise what is the meaning of a role name "Consultant - Supply Chain", or "Consultant - Procurement" on the job board at McKinsey Careers in terms of the track for the role?
Is this an Expert career track, with Consultant effectively meaning Specialist, or would it rather be the Generalist track but with Operations practice affiliation?
I am a bit confused, as there is a Specialist role on the Expert track, and an Associate role on the Integrative track, but Consultant isn't known to me, so not sure what stands behind it internally - I am just aware it's on the Associate level in terms of pay etc.
Thank you for your help!
Thank you for your answer! An example of that kind of offer is: https://www.mckinsey.com/careers/search-jobs/jobs/consultant-supplychainmanagement-14547 - would that be definitively an expert track?
Yes most likely expert consulting. It's worth distinguishing that within the expert consulting track, this is more consulting than knowledge/research.
Understood, thanks. As far as I am aware in this case the comp and exit opps are very similar to the generalist path, although the time to get to Partner may differ - am I correct?
Not sure about exit opportunities since your experience will be focused on ops. I'm not sure about the duration but partner election will largely depend on how much demand there is with your area of expertise.
