McKinsey Careers: Joining McKinsey after completing your advanced degree 

Yes I agree with you

@Michael Lee - I noticed too !!! Is this how they train them ???

Just goes to show that you need virtually ZERO specific training and knowledge to do what consultants do, whereas for other jobs you need years of training.

That’s rather unfair though. Firstly, if all PhD holders went into academia, there literally would be no space to accommodate all of them. Secondly, because a PhD is largely translatable, I genuinely don’t see an issue with branching into other fields - including consulting. Lastly, consulting is a good route for people without a business background to venture - eventually - into business or whatever they desire. We also have to consider that people are different, I for one am completing a PhD is molecular biology but I really don’t see myself in this field. I want to apply my skills in a different field, and because consulting is accommodating, then why not. It’s insulting to impose your opinions about people decisions when you weren’t part and parcel of their decision making process. You just need to chill and let others be.
