I didn't know Petey's ex-McKinsey! I know McKinsey people, Ive been to their parties. Rubbed shoulders.
Not impressed. Last time I was with them, in a room of 100 people, two were cool. One joined when his company got bought out. The other one was his wife. None of them struck me as particularly above average, except for ego and ambition.
Minus one for Pete.
- eastbayjake 4y agoThe sort of argument-by-anecdote that makes Hacker News such an interesting, informative, civilized forum to read these days - thanks for your contribution
- sbaiddn 4y agoThanks :) I figured it was more personable than yet another rehashing of all of McKinsey's scandals. After all who cares if they masterminded Pursue Pharma to get an entire region addicted to smack?

- sbaiddn 4y agoYou have to talk to someone to gauge them? You never study their behavior, how they comport themselves around others? Adolescents with daddy's keys to daddy's merc. is how Id describe them.
