Each year, we welcome students who come with a variety of experiences and academic backgrounds from universities and colleges around the world. A few things they have in common: intellectual curiosity, outstanding academic performance, perseverance, resilience, a commitment to excellence, and an eagerness to collaborate within a team.
Our roles include generalist consulting, practice consulting – focused on a specific function or industry (e.g., digital, operations, marketing & sales, etc.), and technology roles such as data scientists, software engineers, or product managers.
How will you grow?
You will strengthen your existing skills—and add new ones. You will cultivate outstanding problem-solving abilities, sharpen your communication, and enhance your analytical thinking. You will have real influence with clients—earlier in your career than most places—and help solve the problems no one else can.
In your first two years, you’ll work across industries and capabilities building business knowledge, and perhaps find a field you’re inspired to pursue more deeply. You’ll work with talented people from different cultures and backgrounds.
We’re committed to your learning; our colleagues averaged 40+ training hours in 2023. And coaching and mentorship are integral parts of your development; peers will give you feedback, partners will inspire you to grow, and your professional development team will help you plan the next several years of your career.
What comes next?
Whether you decide to stay with our firm for two years or 20, a role at McKinsey is a springboard for your career. In fact, a recent study found that McKinsey produced a higher percentage of CEOs than any other organization. (Source: OnDeck. November 2023. Which company produced the most CEOs?)
And while many McKinsey alumni move into executive roles, they also become entrepreneurs, start not-for-profits, among many other endeavors. The common thread is that they developed skills to succeed at McKinsey and belong to a lifelong network of more than 60K distinctive alumni globally.
