More comparable choice sets in the Middle East are:
- McKinsey v. BCG: I would choose McKinsey
- Bain v. OW: I would choose OW
- Kearney v. S&: I would choose K
- Accenture v. PwC / Monitor Deloitte: I would choose Accenture

sigh* last week Saturday my s/o & I broke up after our 3 year relationship. & it really been affecting me negatively — not eating, autopilot mode, self isolation & diving deep into work. Today I decided to go outside, where I picked up some food to go and went to an outdoor movie by myself; where I had the realization I just really enjoy being by myself. Idk, maybe I’m just better off single after so many failed relationships/am I being dramatic? but anyone else has given up on love?
