If I am interested in applying to a specific McKinsey practice, is there a separate application process?

No, there is only one application regardless of generalist or practice preferences. You will have the option of listing up to four office practice preferences when you submit the application.

What if I apply for a summer internship and am not selected? Can I still apply for a full-time position with McKinsey?

Absolutely. We look forward to hearing from all internship applicants in the early fall (or the relevant time period for your campus) if they are interested in full-time career opportunities with McKinsey.

What if I am interested in both local and international offices?

This is perfectly acceptable. We strongly encourage you to express your interests in both local and international locations in true order of interest. This again will ensure that you are considered by both local and international offices for interviews. Ultimately, you will be invited to interview for one location only.

What if I am open to any McKinsey location?

We encourage you to get to know the various McKinsey offices and practices during the recruiting season so that you have a better sense of where you would like to be when completing your application. On the application, you will have the opportunity to list your preference for up to four office and/or practice locations. If you are truly location agnostic, you can indicate that when submitting your application.

Will my office preference affect whether or not I receive an interview?

We select candidates to interview based on the criteria listed in the “What we look for” section, not on geographic preference.

Are there any offices where it is easier to obtain an interview or offer?

No. The standards for success in obtaining a McKinsey interview and offer are the same across the world. All offices look for the same qualities in a résumé and a candidate.
