McKinsey Middle East is NOT a good career path?
Hearing a lot of talk online that consulting (I'm wondering specifically about McKinsey) is not a good career path in the MENA region. People often cite:
- Oversaturated workforce
- Declining number of projects and no job security / long-term future
- Bad clients and work nature compared to other regions
- Exit ops not strong
- MBB doesnt have the same prestige as non-MENA offices
Would like to hear people's thoughts on this - even from non-MENA offices. Is there truth in these statements? is it a good career path still?
Personally, I'm graduating this year and wondering if joining McK is a good choice.
