Hi,
I have entered an interview process as an experienced hire with the McKinsey office in my city in Europe following a recommendation from a head hunter/recruiter. I am currently at a local strategy boutique consulting firm which has really accelerated pace during recent years and where I have made a pretty good career, becoming project leader in 4 years (considered very fast for this firm).
To my question: can I expect to join McKinsey at the corresponding level (that is Engagement Manager), or will they want me to step down one level to Associate in order to prove myself with the firm?
Thanks!
