I bet Paul Graham could make a lot more working for McKinsey than at Y Combinator. These folks have one hell of a racket.

  Falsest, Know anyone who works there or has any stories about the place?
  • falsestprophet 19y ago
    No. I am too young to know any McKinsey consultants personally. (As a rule they hold MBAs and I am only an undergraduate.) Although, many of my friends from back home seem to be eying the prize. I am peripherally familiar because my father has done business with them and has told me a little about it. I do not know enough to evaluate the quality of their work (that hardly matters anyway). I can only speak to the ridiculous magnitude of their compensation. You can read a little more about their compensation at http://www.careers-in-business.com/consulting/mcsal.htm http://www.careers-in-business.com/consulting/mcsal.htm and http://fisher.osu.edu/fin/opler/salary.htm http://fisher.osu.edu/fin/opler/salary.htm . I suspect Paul Graham could reliably earn several million dollars a year. But, I am sure, Y Combinator is more fun.

      Have you ever been tempted to sell your soul and go to the dark (MBA/money route) side?
      • falsestprophet 19y ago
        No I have not been (which disappoints my father greatly).
