If you are thinking of joining directly as a partner, then you will go through a very strict screening process.
1) You must be "presented" by an office (eg by the partner group of that office);
2) You are reviewed by a specific committee that also evaluates partners (not partner candidates).
The odds of being "elected directly" are low, but are improved if you are already a partner in another well-known professional services firm and/or if you are a recognised expert in your field.
If you are thinking of joining as an EM or as an AP, then the recruiting process is more or less strictly an office decision (more for EM, less for AP).
Hope this helps |

How about for someone who is applying to an associate position 1-2 years after their MBA?
I'm thinking of joining another strat consulting firm and then reapplying to McKinsey in 1-2 years. How tough is this process? If I manage through it, will I have to restart as a first year associate?
