Hey there,

Fully agree with Ken here. If that is what you want, go for it with all consequences

• McK bridge likely burned
• Remove brand name from resume

All the best with your new role!

Cheers,

Florian

Hi there,

Honestly, you're completely burning every bridge with McK. They will not take you back.

In a month you haven't built any relationships, so there goes the network.

The brand name is also a no-go as you really shouldn't reference this role anywhere in your resume or LinkedIn (it only raises bad questions).

I want to be really clear here. If you do this you have to assume that you are pretty much completely done w/ Mck. That includes re-applying in another city (they will see that you joined and left in 1 month, and won't want to waste more time + money hiring + training you). I'm not saying there isn't a possibility of things working out, but you really do have to assume this is the case when making this decision.

If you really want this new job, and will never look back, go for it! Just understand the repurcussions from the Mck perspective.

Hello,

Unfortunately I would have to agree with Ken and Ian - by taking this new job offer, you should assume that you are breaking off all ties with McKinsey, and will not return to work for the firm for any office in the near/medium-term future, regardless of location. Same goes for the brand name - I would not include your stint at McKinsey on your LinkedIn or resume since the duration will raise more questions than positive associations.

It seems like your mind is pretty made up on this, but the one thing I just wanted to add is that McKinsey does allow for office transfers, if your relocation is a major concern. You usually would go through the transfer process after you have gained at least a year of tenure, but if you are strategic about it and have honest conversations with your mentors and staffing managers, you could be able to make that happen for yourself further down the line.

Either way - best of luck with your new role!
