I like how you assume I have never worked for a MBB. Some of us don't smell our own farts, you know. People view of how things work change drastically between their junior years, i.e. nearly students, and grade above manager where you start selling. I'm highly tempted to answer you: you will understand when you have grown up but that would be a touch condescending, wouldn't it?

As far as I can tell the proportion of those who have any excuse to do so who smell their own farts well exceeds 50%. If you deny yourself that pleasure more power to you. It’s still the case that just as more is written about Harvard every year than about all community colleges combined there’s more written about MBB than about the rest of the strategy consulting industry combined. People love prestige. If you have inside knowledge might you be able to confirm the dumbest thing I’ve heard about McKinsey, that they have an absolute bar on hiring people with subpar academic credentials? The example I heard was a guy who was being recruited as an MD and when they discovered he’d gotten a third class honours they had to rescind the offer.
