Meet McKinsey’s Affinity Networks

McKinsey is committed to promoting diversity and providing an inclusive community as we help all of our colleagues be at their best. We invite you to meet members of our affinity networks, including GLAM (LGBTQ+ at McKinsey), the Hispanic and Latino Network, the McKinsey Black Network, and others. Our colleagues are excited to answer your questions and share tips to help you prepare for interviews.

What roles are available?

MBA graduates typically join us as associates, working either as generalists or practice consultants if they have an area they’d like to focus on, and increasingly they may join our analytics, digital, or other tech teams.

Our roles include generalist consulting, practice consulting - focused on a specific function or industry (e.g., digital, marketing & sales, operations) and technology roles such as data scientists, software engineers, product managers, data engineers, designers, agile coaches, or digital marketers.

Opportunities for MBA Candidates

MBA graduates typically join us as associates, working either as generalists or practice consultants, depending on their preference and interests. MBA candidates in-between their first and second year may apply for an associate intern position—this is usually a 10-week internship during the summer.

If you have recently been accepted into a full-time US MBA program, you may be interested in learning more about our McKinsey Early Access program. This is a networking opportunity for pre-MBAs at selected full-time programs that typically has a spring application deadline.
