I grossly underestimated the sheer number of people that have rich parents. I grew up poor and have to make it on my own. All these people I know are getting homes (in San Diego where it’s impossible) bc they have rich parents giving them $200-400k down payments, weddings paid for etc. Damn im poor

Sounds like you have friends from wealthy families, but that doesn’t mean 200k down payments is the norm. You may want to ground yourself by researching the financial position of the median American family

Ppl love to knock it, but it really is a great profession relative to most alternatives. There is better, but this is pretty good.

I’m a decade ahead of the “hustle, best case” I dreamt of when I was from lower working class. I’m grateful. And yea, there are some really rich folks out there. The bottom of the ruling class to the ruling class depending on their circle

As I’ve gotten more senior I’ve noticed working with more people with a greater diversity of background. Maybe the most privileged are more inclined to move on? Anyway, I find it feels less awkward with time.

You're in consulting. This is not the norm. Similar to investment banking, it is filled with people that come from serious wealth
