Wesleyan Specific: Business Analyst Intern (SBA)

Wesleyan Connection: A Wesleyan alum will be collecting and reviewing resumes through Handshake for this role.

How to Apply: Apply with your approved resume on Handshake. You will then be brought to McKinsey's website to apply. You must do both to be considered. Please apply during one of two deadlines: July 7, 2022 or August 11, 2022 (please note you may only submit one application for the same role per recruiting year, if you are unsuccessful during the July deadline you may not apply again in August).

Tips for Applying from our Alum: McKinsey has 2 deadlines for the ’23 Summer Internship on their website. If you are doing something interesting and resume worthy this summer, you may want to wait to apply to the later date so you can add strong bullets to demonstrate the impact you make as an intern. If your resume won’t change much between July 7th and August 11th then apply before the first deadline.


WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH


You will join one of our offices around the world for ~10 weeks, usually in the summer, to work in teams and directly with our clients. In addition to these locations, this job opportunity is also available in Ho Chi Minh City.

In this role, you will help our clients in the private, public, and social sectors solve some their most pressing problems. You will also work with a range of experts in the firm, from data scientists to researchers to software and app designers.




WHAT YOU'LL DO


You’ll work in teams of typically 3 – 5 consultants, to identify, and oftentimes implement, potential solutions for a specific client problem or challenge. Together, you will help clients make lasting improvements to their performance and realize their most important goals.

Over the course of each project, you will gather and analyze information, formulate and test hypotheses, and develop and communicate recommendations. You'll also present results to client management and implement recommendations in collaboration with client team members. Some examples of the specific work may include interviewing clients, leading client teams, building financial models, and working with McKinsey subject experts to develop perspectives and insights for the client. Depending on your area of focus or client needs, you will be asked to travel to your client site.

When you join McKinsey, you are joining a firm that will invest in your professional development. As a business analyst intern, you will receive training and coaching on how to better:

  • Structure ambiguous problems and take action to solve them
  • Synthesize complex information into clear takeaways and recommendations using both qualitative and quantitative methods
  • Work effectively with diverse teams to come up with the best solution and move people and organizations to act
  • Establish trust-based relationships with clients to better serve their organizations 
  • Communicate effectively with all audiences, including senior leaders, in a structured manner
  • Develop your leadership style, leveraging your own passions, strengths, and personal values

McKinsey believes in strengths-based development and coaching, and you’ll receive frequent mentoring from colleagues. This will include a senior colleague from your office or practice who will help you grow and achieve your career goals. Additionally, you will have a professional development manager who manages staffing to help you choose projects based on your priorities as well as the needs of client service teams.

Our business analyst intern program gives a group of undergraduate students and eligible graduate students first-hand experience with consulting at McKinsey. At the end of your internship, you may receive an offer to join us as a full-time business analyst after the completion of your degree.
