How would you describe the distribution of intelligence/skills/experience (however loosely you want to define: are people good?) at MBB?
I would expect the median to be higher than the average population, but how’s the distribution look like? Still normally distributed?
Ps. Before you all jump on this, yes there is absolutely no scientific methodology to the question. Qualitative assessment perhaps? Experience sharing?

It’s a unique bunch. There are truly some knowledgeable, brilliant and insightful folks who are worth their rates —- and there are an awful lot who do adult arts and crafts on PPT and call it value add. I’m always amazed at the upper end of wealth how much gets wasted on nonsense and that’s often what you get from the worst MBB consultants.

It’s often a confirmation. Middle management already has a predetermined solution and needs a group of people to present it as the best. The value add is that the orgs management gets what they want.

Also the product I’m on has been in MVP stage, things move extremely fast and design decisions changed constantly. He’s not on my team.
Am I crazy for thinking him a bad manager?
