Yes, I mean, the main shift would be the post-MBA goal; strat consulting is generic but it's a viable path and it's good you have a defined practice area that makes sense. Might be even better to figure out which office has infrastructure projects that best align with your work background (like water/bridge/structural blah blah) just to show you have researched this (and of course - try to network with McKinsians for first hand perspective on discussing your goals/plans. this will impress adcom; always better to have quotes from them)
The "climbing the ranks" idea is viable of course but unlikely if you ever want to have a marriage that lasts or a life outside work. I like to see long term goals that are more socially focused or have some dimension that shows you contributions are beyond your own career. But if it isn't organic to your profile, better not to force it.

Hi there please anyone help me, if my goal is realistic to adcom
I'm a civil engineer
My short term goal is to get into an infrastructure firm, such as McKinsey infrastructure or any fortune 500 company as a junior manager, and then rise to senior manager in a relatively short period of time
My long term is to go from senior manager to junior partner then senior partner then make Managing partner, is that viable?
Is it realistic?
Hi...
Thank you for replying
I've been conflicted about this for a long time.
Thing I want to understand, I want to do MBA in General management, and I don't know many of the project management firms in Infrastructure. Could you suggest me a few that recruit from M7…?
And consulting firms.
I've got a defined goal but if I could go into the same industry to a managerial role I'd definitely like to consider that.
What is the basic organizational structure? I mean you said that long term goal are "personal ones"
