Create less AI slop and have more fun: 4 McKinsey partners told us what they want from junior consultants

Junior consultants should go out with their colleagues more instead of getting an early night, one senior McKinsey partner told Business Insider.

Abstract editorial illustration

Four senior partners at McKinsey & Co shared their insights with Business Insider on how junior consultants could improve their performance and work-life balance. They advised against creating "AI slop" - low-quality content produced with poor use of artificial intelligence. Some associates have not fully embraced AI tools, while others employ them ineffectively.

The partners also recommended junior consultants spend more time socializing with colleagues and building relationships, as this can help them better enjoy their work. They cautioned against focusing too much on climbing the ranks to partner status, as this can lead to dissatisfaction. Instead, they suggested following one's interests and passions to find fulfillment within the firm.
