A lot of S& partners feel betrayed by the ex-Booz partners who voted in favor of the acquisition and shortly thereafter went to McKinsey / BCG, but malice isn't really there for the firms at a whole.

I've never come across them at a client. I've been at clients after they've been there. Common theme is "We hired McKinsey, they gave us a report, but the plan they provided is not actionable and too high level. Can you help with practical advice?".

I think most don't care either way. There are def some (louder ones) that hate however, and to P1's point, part of this is most surely envy.

Feel like those in MBB don't hate each other but have more of a mutual respect for each other

I don't hate anybody (except some clients). BCG vs McK was a really tough decision; I am pretty sure I would have liked it there too.

Considering that my firm is full of McKinsey rejects, I'd say it's less hate and more a measured envy.
