I am grateful for McKinsey and BCG because when I dropped out of my postdoc in 2009 and was looking for a job, I went to probably 20 or 30 of their lunch events at Wharton where I absolutely stuffed myself and my pockets, despite having no intention whatsoever of joining them.

  No I mean I literally stuffed my coat pockets with food! Sandwiches, fruit, cheese especially.

    Oral defense season was always a good way to get ahead, financially. You do get sick of pizza, though.

    Perfect job-seeker frame of mind. Completely relaxed and having a good time. At worst, you're making other candidates look less weird!
