Consider Diana Farrell, the Director of the McKinsey Global Institute, who took a risk as a young consultant and accepted a fellowship with McKinsey's relatively new internal think tank. A decade later, she would be leading the thriving Institute that covers research topics from foreign direct investment to offshoring, capital markets, and the relationship between IT and productivity: the stuff of global economics and society.

Second, being part of this leadership network means that you will have an opportunity to create your own path: to take advantage of the paths that have been forged by the men and women who have come before you and to chart new territory yourself. You choose what is important to you and then build your McKinsey around that, whether it is the desire to explore new geographies, new industries, new ways of working, or anything in between.

Third, this network means you will have access to an unrivalled group of peers, mentors, and role models as you develop as a leader. You will have opportunities to meet, work with, and learn from the best. We are passionate about helping you achieve your potential and committed to helping you succeed, and we trust that you will do the same for us.

We hope you'll join us.
