Would it be fair to say that consulting firms could get the top (good) people in a developed country, but also is more likely to hire the smartest but corrupt people in a corrupt country? As that is the name of the game in those countries.
And the HQ not caring as much because those other countries bring in the 'franchise fee'. At the risk of a story like this.
- mck_throwaway 4y agoIn my experience McKinsey (like most consultancies) does almost all its hiring directly out of college or grad school. Hiring outside those pipelines was becoming a little more common when I left, but I'd imagine it's still probably <10% of the total. I don't think there'd be much hiring of already 'corrupt' people, but it's pretty reasonable that when you have a very competitive and prestigious position, on average, you might find that more 'cutthroat' people are more willing to invest time and energy to getting hired.
