MBB in Asia vs BB Structuring in London vs Everything else
I'm a senior in a top school in Asia graduating in 2016. I've grinded through school, networked like crazy and completed internships in consulting, VC and Asset Management.

McKinsey Background Check?
I received an associate offer from McK for late-16/early-17 start. The letter states the offer is contingent on passing a background check. What type of background check is this, and what does this involve? I'd appreciate anyone with personal experience and specific information.
Did not receive any emails from McK about my status
I am a graduate student (MS) going through the consulting full time recruitment. McKinsey sent out 1st round invites, along with rejection letters, last Friday for our school (target).

Advice on McKinsey Coffee Date
How do I take advantage of this coffee date with a McKinsey & Co. senior manager who has worked there for a year and a half. My goal is to get this person to put my resume in front of HR.

MBB vs Fundamental Investing Asset Manager: Learning, Pitfalls and Exit Ops
How do you view an MBB analyst program vs an investment analyst at an asset manager for a Pre-MBA candidate? Specifically, experience at a value investing shop managing close to $3Bn vs a vanilla MBB analyst gig. On the face of it, MBB has the edge with brand and exit ops, while the AM offers a...

Periscope Analyst = Business Analyst at McK??
Seen on LinkedIn a few times recently people's titles being "Business Analyst at McKinsey & Co., but if you look at their experience section, they say "Periscope Analyst at McKinsey Solutions.

McKinsey - Private Equity Practice
Any information on this group? Seems like a large chunk of the work they do is PE due diligence, which should technically be ideal for PE exit opps from a consulting position. But a quick linkedin search doesn't show much, especially when most of their guys are from okay schools and...
