I already know you guys mainly book everything first class :p. I'm mainly curious on the flight minimum for domestic business for Bain/McK since I'm assuming all MBB do business intl at all levels

Don't lie to yourself, the fact you brought up shows you are set conscious about being at the #3 firm. It probably traces back to when you didn't make the tee ball team, and the resentment only grew when you came in 3rd for valedictorian. But don't worry, someday you will #1 in something and it will be glorious 😛

3.5 hours. Below that two things to note: (1) we always buy refundable. With 1k on united for example this generally means a M, B, Y fare, which counts as an upgrade. (2) if an upgrade is within $50, it's fine to expense the upgrade. On Alaska for example this often happens.

M B Y fare? More like MBB fares. Am I right??

Yes

Which company has better work life balance though? Bain or McKinsey? I felt like there's another company I'm forgetting about. AT Kearney, Oliver Wyman? Ohhhhh that's right S&

Bcg2: it was meant as a joke, do you think it really hurt me? Haha

So getting back on track on this beautiful travel day.... Thanks for the answer McK1! Guess there are no Bainies around... :(

Whoops meant McK3**

Bcg2 haha that's too funny

One of your roommates (and a close friend that you’ve known for years) has a flight to catch. He has a suitcase, a duffle bag (no wheels), and a backpack. In order for him to get to the airport would you:

A) offer to drive him to the airport that’s about .5 miles away (5 minute drive)

B) tell him to order an Uber since you know his work would pay for it

C) tell him to not be lazy and walk half a mile to the nearest public transportation stop, with all that luggage, and take public transit
