McKinsey New Ventures Specialist? Anyone have information on this role?
I am a senior at a target and was rejected from my final round interview at McKinsey last month (for a BA position). Although I received a tier 2 offer, I was really gunning for MBB and am now unsure if it's worth entering into consulting to not be at a MBB firm. I came across McKinsey's New Venture role and originally ruled it out, but I recently saw a "Specialist - New Ventures Campus" position and am intrigued by the "specialist" designation.
Does anyone have any information about McKinsey New Ventures? Could I be a "specialist" and focus in their "Private Equity and Principal Sponsors" industry? And more importantly, is the McKinsey brand in a non-BA role better for exit opps than a normal consultant role at a Tier 2 firm?
