Hi Zx,

I am afraid you won't have a lot of leverage for negotiation unfortunately (especially in current market environment).

In your situation I'd put the focus more on delivering excellent results in your BA role and fast-track promotions will follow with increasing compensation.

If you see a middle to long term benefit (also financially) and believe McKinsey is the right employer for you, this is the way to go; if you look at McKinsey in a more short-term perspective (also valid, just depends on your circumstances) then it's at least financially a loss.

Hope this helps - if so, please give it a thumbs-up with the green upvote button below!

Hi there,

Sorry, but it sounds like you've really already had that conversation with HR and they said no.

I don't see any room for negoation here. All you can really do is be an absolute gun on the job and hope for fast-track promotion!

Hi Zx,

Seems very unlikely that you can get JA position right now. Given the fact they have a limited headcount, the best option for you would be to join as BA at this stage.

The first priority for you now is getting the offer itself. After that, it would be reasonable to think of perfect performing and fast promotion as a result.
