Training and development
We want you to get off to the best possible start, and we want to support your development throughout your journey with McKinsey. With us, you will find a wide variety of training programs designed to help you develop the skills you need to succeed in your consulting career. You’ll gain a deeper knowledge of your chosen industries and management topics through research, global conferences, and client work. In addition, we operate as one global firm, making it easy for you to work internationally and develop a network around the world—if that’s what you want to do. Many of our consultants choose to pursue a second academic degree, in particular an MBA or a PhD, an option that is supported by McKinsey.
Flexibility
Like any fast-track career, working at McKinsey can be intense. Our clients rely on us during their most challenging times, and we go to great lengths to exceed their expectations. But meeting our commitments doesn’t mean putting our personal needs and interests on hold. More than 30 percent of our consultants choose flexible working models to find a balance and lead a fulfilling life.
