Chillin’ in the Midwest (literally…brrrrr)
Categories: Uncategorized
In other work-related news…This past weekend, we had another big event in the ATL office…the cultivation weekend for the first set of Associate offerees from the class of 2007. I wasn’t too involved with the weekend, but I did get to meet some of the incoming kids at the Friday night dinner and Saturday brunch. The group of offerees are all some really good kids and I hope we can bring them all in. Thinking back to this time last year, I was all giddy about having gotten an offer and even turned in my signed offer letter during the first day of the cultivation weekend and haven’t looked back since. Seeing that same excitement in the offerees made me grin all weekend long. During my conversations with the students, it was tougher than I’d anticipated for me to keep from sharing some of the experiences I had with other companies as I was going through the process. As y’all can tell from reading this blog, I’m usually very open with that sort of thing and I’ve had some noteworthy stories to tell. Now, I have to remember that I’m representing McK at these events and, as such, I have to make sure I don’t sound like I’m smearing any other firms. Sometimes, it’s so weird being on the other side in the big recruiting game…
Marquis,
Though I knew you would do well in life, it’s a bit strange as I follow your blog and realize that I had a little something to do with it. I wonder if you really understand the degree to which your heart and your experiences have touched the world. Keep doing what you’re doing. I’m watching you grow and I truly like what I see. Your blog reminds me of my daily devotionals that I did for almost five years, pouring my heart out to the world. You’re kinda following in your mom’s footsteps but on a diffent path (now isn’t that an oxymoron?) God bless you son and remember … Love and Humility … Love and Humility … You’re on your way to greater heights and where you will end … mmm, only God knows. Love ya much! “mom”

just out of curiosity, can you tell me how much you guys who join as consultants at McKinsey after a B-school earn?
Anonymous, I wish I could tell you, but I think that might go against some confidentiality rules. WHat I can say is that the Firm pays along the market for consultants at its peer firms.
