Engineer and management consultant: “It is not only a path that opens doors; it is a chance to develop exponentially” In McKinsey, Mikael applies his engineering skills to multiple business topics. “Even though I enjoyed working as an engineer, my interests span across multiple areas, which is why management consulting seemed like the perfect opportunity for me to combine my interest in engineering with a business aspect.” Working with leaders of the biggest companies in the world “One of the things that appeal to me about this industry is the level of impact I am able to have. On people, organizations and across borders including the opportunity to work directly with leaders of the worlds’ biggest companies and organizations. Being exposed to such a degree of professionalism while being surrounded by amazingly caring and bright people is really what makes McKinsey a unique place to work”. A caring commitment to the team Mikael emphasizes challenging problems and a caring commitment to his team members as the most important parts of his work. “Working at McKinsey offers a unique chance to develop tremendously both as a person and as a professional in close collaboration with a caring team - and to learn how to master the art of problem solving, regardless of industry and situation.” Engineers make great consultants There are several similarities between the acquired skills of an engineer and those of a consultant. “I have benefited greatly from the mindset I have acquired through my studies as an engineer. Just like the problems I meet here, I am used to handling problems with no easy solution; and therefore approaching them from many sides creatively without getting stuck at the first road blocks”.
