Several recently, particularly from McKinsey. My understanding is you can make more as a top performer here than you can at almost any other shop due to comp structure. I’m guessing ex-McKinsey consultants come here assuming they can be top performers or (if an MD) sell the same amount they sold at McKinsey. Of course, experiences will vary depending on the person/skill set and how that translates to the A&M company/brand.
