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. |

If you are going to start in the Swiss office, make it clear to Eric B. and Amine T. that you do not want to work in North Africa.
If you are going to start in the UK office and are worried about spending too much time in Dubai, make it clear to .... (well, it's a long list of people to talk to, but you probably know the guy with the Dutch-sounding name) and state your preferences clearly too.
You have a right to express your preferences and the firm will endeavour to satisfy them (take into account that not being staffed is not an option).
SO MAKE YOU PREFERENCES KNOWN!
