Would you like to know how the skills you acquire as a PhD are handy in business? How your background from a PhD is relevant as a management consultant?

Thursday March 14th McKinsey invites PhD students and Post-docs from NTNU to get to know us better.
The event will take place from 12:00-13:30 in Fram at NTNU (Gamle Fysikk, Gløshaugen) where lunch will be served and you get a chance to meet some of our consultants.
We will give a brief talk on what skills you gain from a PhD that businesses will appreciate and how your background is relevant for McKinsey.
We will also give an introduction to a current topic in business; circular economy, followed by mingling.

If you are interested in joining our PhD event, please reach out to Nooria Akbar at Nooria_Akbar@mckinsey.com, sharing your name, the subject of you previously degree, your current PhD program and expected year of graduation by March 11.

Luckily, NTNU arranges seminars for international researchers about tax and tax return each year. The seminars are arranged by NIRS together with the Tax Authorities in Trondheim and provide unique opportunity for information regarding the topic. We recommend you to bring your tax return form with you to the event.
