Your Career
Working at McKinsey can be demanding. But it also offers a fast-track career and a world of opportunities.
“Many people start here and then go on to make truly valuable contributions in their home countries. I met one former associate who started a nonprofit in his native Tanzania. Now, he’s running for Parliament!”
Our apprenticeship model will push you to fulfill your potential. You’ll build your skills by working alongside experts to solve our clients’ most important issues. You’ll deepen your expertise by counseling and working with people at the top of their profession.
Accelerate your path to leadership
The pace is swift and the expectations are high here, but you’ll benefit from greater and faster exposure to tougher challenges. At McKinsey, you can explore more than our 18 industry and six functional practices around the world. You can experience the challenges and problems that will prepare you for leadership roles more quickly—whether at McKinsey, a multinational corporation, your own startup, or a nonprofit.
Build a network of lasting relationships
You’ll also develop a personal network at McKinsey that will be an enduring source of support and opportunity. You can call on colleagues, clients, and alumni for advice and expertise throughout your career. Many of our consultants go on to form businesses together and work with each other in other pursuits.
