McKinsey & Company

Management Consultant

Consulting · Current employée · 3 yrs · Femme · avr. 2026

New York

★★★★☆ Global Équité salariale 3/5 ⚖ Écart salarial 3/5 Culture 3/5

✅ Points positifs

Intellectual stimulation is unmatched. The problems are genuinely complex and high-stakes.

⚠️ Points négatifs

Up-or-out model is brutal and women leave at measurably higher rates than men above associate level.

💡 Conseil : Find a senior female partner as sponsor before you need one. Without active sponsorship, the odds worsen significantly.

Operations Consultant

Operations · Former employée · 2 yrs · Femme · avr. 2026

New York

★★★☆☆ Global Équité salariale 3/5 ⚖ Écart salarial 3/5 Culture 2/5

✅ Points positifs

The McKinsey brand opens every door that comes after. Worth the sacrifice for exactly 2–3 years.

⚠️ Points négatifs

Travel demands are structurally incompatible with caring responsibilities. Almost entirely male at VP+.

💡 Conseil : Go in with a defined exit timeline. Two years, then leverage the brand and move somewhere that values you fully.

HR Consultant

Human Resources · Current employée · 1 yr · Femme · avr. 2026

New York

★★★★☆ Global Équité salariale 4/5 ⚖ Écart salarial 2/5 Culture 3/5

✅ Points positifs

Colleagues are extraordinary. The peer quality here is the single biggest draw.

⚠️ Points négatifs

Women consultants are frequently asked to take on admin or culture work that counts for zero at review time.

💡 Conseil : Push back explicitly on non-billable asks. "That's not in my development goals this cycle" is a complete sentence.
