Consulting enables a way of working that I never get bored
Currently I cannot imagine a life doing other thing than consulting. I face every day different tasks, client situations and challenges which help me to leave a mark. McKinsey creates an environment which allows me to do that in the most powerful and meaningful way.
I am one of the consultants at the Firm who gathered their previous experience at other consulting companies outside of McKinsey. I joined the Firm in 2022 and I am part of Orphoz, working on bigger transformation projects and helping our clients mostly during the implementation phase of the project.
The best of my work is obviously the part when we are creating value at the client site. At Orphoz, a McKinsey Company the projects are designed that the consultants are staying for a longer period with the client, helping them to implement the designed initiatives and solutions in a sustainable way. We are not only there to create impact but also to build capabilities and handover knowledge, helping them to sustain the pace, the results and be able to achieve the goals after we are leaving the project.
There is a popular saying within the Firm, “Make your own McKinsey”. I have realized during the journey that McKinsey is more global than people would imagine. Even during my first year I was able to work in several industries and countries, including the Middle East and Central Europe. If you are a consultant, you are also flexible and eager to travel, McKinsey can provide this experience in the best way, surrounded by interesting, talented people who you are able to learn from. You are surrounded by people from different background and there is no such a topic within the Firm which is not covered by someone. Working at McKinsey means also that you can grow and deepen your knowledge while surrounded by great people.
McKinsey creates an environment and a platform for problem solving, so at the end of the day you can have the feeling that your work really matters, and you are able to change people’s mindset, reshape organizations and create impact. The most powerful message you can get from the client, that you helped them to achieve the goals, they feel being inspired and supported by you and without you it would have been more difficult.
