What’s a MBB? McDonald’s, Burger King and baskin robins?

Great time to be like, “But you’re still here with the people who didn’t so does it matter?”

I wish I can say that to them. So sick of these giant egos.
It's giving "Oh yeah I could have gone pro in high school"
When I meet ppl like that, I pretend I’ve never heard of whatever school/company/program they’re talking about. “Notre Dame? Is that like a liberal arts school? No, never heard of it, must not be that big”. Just act completely innocent/oblivious

Or ask where their peers are now who accepted the offer
Not a leader here but i did not take a BCG offer. Not because i felt D is better but because i dont think i am capable of sustaining that lifestyle and WLB. People who work in MBB are too good.
As much as we say, the WLB is much better for me compared to a few friends who took MBB. They are richer but i think i have what i need and will not have been done well and burnt out there.

Honestly, the people I’m talking about don’t have a WLB. They are very much about prestige. I can understand what you are saying and your reasoning but these people I know are different.

Literally everyone from my M7 took MBB over T2 unless they were sponsored. I’m not exaggerating. There wasn’t a single person otherwise.
There were a couple people that were sponsored from T2 and tried recruiting MBB (successfully), but decided to go back ti T2 so they didn’t have to pay the education back.

I’m thinking the folks I’m talking about made it to a round and they are claiming to have got offers. With their obsession for prestige, not sure why they’d lose something they talk about even after 20 years. They were not in T2 before business school.
