Do BCG and Bain fight over that though? Pretty clear consensus that BCG is the first "B".

No they just make trillion dollar companies. Also find it amazing how MBB (collectively) has about as many employees as Google/Facebook but is collectively worth about $25B vs Google which is a $1T company despite both having top tier talentt in the world. Shows much difference objectives/structures make

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
