Is it worth spending money on management consulted? My university doesnt offer free access and I want to do more MBB case prep

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.

Does anyone have an account or resources from Management Consulted that they are willing to share? I am an incoming MBA student and hoping to get a head start. I don't yet have access to my school's resources.

Hello, I’ll be joining the firm in 3 months time. Any tips/ early stage advices would be very helpful.

I completed all games but didn't complete the survey and do the final submit. Is my test recorded?

Hi all ! I got accepted to McKinsey NGWL Asia but I dont know how it works,or if this is even worth the time. If any one got selected in the same or have knowledge about it please let me know. Dm works too

I got my solve results and it is 487 , ranking 3 (1 is low , 10 is high)

I want to know

1. What is the max score ?
2. Is there a bell curve for solve ?
3. What does 3 even mean

Damn, I feel stupid

Hi! I’m really lucky to have a McKinsey SBA offer for 2027. I also have an internship offer at a hedge fund. I’m leaning the hedge fund to learn more about macro economics and systems in a formulaic way I have never done before, but it has worse intern to full time conversion.

My question is, if I give up SBA, will full time recruiting be much harder? (I go to a target school and have a high GPA in a STEM field, for context)

Thanks!
