Message: Hi, My start date at McK is coming up in a couple of months and I would like to get some advice from current McKies regarding the likelihood of getting stuck in one specific region. During my interviews, I was asked several times (by 5 different interviewers) about my ability to communicate in Arabic and how fluent I was (I speak fluently, read well but can't really write). Keep in mind that I am hired in a European office with no apparent connection to the Middle-East. Does this mean that I will get stuck in doing studies in North Africa / Gulf / Middle-East for the rest of my career with McK? In the same line of thought, do you know if McK does any client work in dangerous spots? My family is worried.... Thanks and happy new year.
