The day-to-day

Explore the role of a consultant at McKinsey

Every industry is different, and every client is unique, so it's impossible to detail what your specific responsibilities might be. In general, you’ll spend your time identifying issues, forming hypotheses, designing and conducting analyses, distilling conclusions into recommendations, and presenting results to the client’s management.

You’ll work closely with the client at their site, conducting interviews, leading brainstorming sessions, and helping them build skills to implement solutions.
