What's different about McKinsey New York
McKinsey's New York office is the firm's largest in the Americas and a flagship for financial services, private equity, and healthcare work. Competition for NYC spots is the highest in North America — the office takes heavily from HBS, Wharton, Columbia, and NYU Stern, and interviews skew toward consumer, financial services, and healthcare cases. Expect faster recruiting timelines than regional offices.
Recruiting note: NYC final-round superdays are in-person at 3 World Trade Center. Summer internship recruiting closes roughly 2-3 weeks earlier than most other US offices.
