At McKinsey, I have no permanent boss and my team changes with every project.
Travel the world and be inspired
Life at McKinsey offers much more than a regular job does.
I feel that I am on steroids Monday to Friday, and I get to travel the world and be inspired. My colleagues are genuinely caring and supportive. McKinsey’s international staffing policies ensure that I am surrounded by impressive people at the top of the industry. This is a truly global firm: in four years I have worked in all continents with people from countless countries.
Make childhood dreams a reality
As a child, I was obsessed with airplanes and trains. One of my first memories involves a small red model Concorde. I would also draw railway lines all over maps. Recently, I helped the pricing and revenue management team of a mid-sized network airline to increase revenues, and worked to optimize the capital portfolio of one of the world's largest railway companies. This was not a matter of luck. It was a result of conscious effort by people within McKinsey—mentors, professional-development managers, and friends—who went out of their way to help me work on subjects I care about passionately. I can’t think of any other company where this would have been possible.
