Choose your path

When applying to McKinsey Switzerland, you have a choice of two paths: joining as a generalist consultant or as a member of the Business Technology Practice.

Generalist path

In the generalist role, you’ll have the opportunity to help some of the most successful leaders in the world to solve some of their most difficult problems. Your clients could include CEOs, presidents, government ministers, and heads of NGOs.

Throughout your time with us, you’ll be exposed to a variety of industries from pharmaceuticals to retail to insurance. You’ll tackle issues in operations, organization, strategy, and technology and work in a range of functions from corporate finance to marketing and sales.

You’ll learn to take a top management perspective and use an integrated approach that considers the organization as a whole as you develop fact-based recommendations.

Business Technology path

Consultants in McKinsey’s Business Technology Office share a passion for information technology. As a BTO consultant, your role will be similar to that of a generalist consultant, but your mix of projects will be different. You’ll support organizations from a range of different industries in developing technology-enabled business strategies, using technology to improve operations, and strengthening corporate IT departments.

Though your focus will be on business technologies, you’ll also work across other functions including strategy, operations, organization, and marketing so as to develop a well-rounded leadership perspective.
