I met a really arrogant guy from Oliver Wyman. Was he an outlier or is this common for OW?

Outlier, but we do have bad apples like all firms

I’d say depends on office and practice, but I think culture is one of OWs major differentiating factors

We acquired a firm a couple years ago that was full of dicks. A lot of those people are still around.

It was just a big cultural difference.

Definitely an outlier!!

But what's your sense on the % of bad apples @ OW? At McK we have our fair share of bad apples. I'm trying to make the jump.

Only former OW guy I know, now a Deloitte SM, is a weird, arrogant guy

What P1 said. You need a larger sample size.

SA1, now you know why he’s former OW ;)

We own a rental property that has appreciated quite a bit and have the opportunity to do a 30-yr cash out refi at 75% LTV that would leave us with about $200,000 at the end of the deal. Rent currently wouldn’t cover the costs and we’d need to deploy the cash and earn about $750/mo to break even. We’d ideally like to use the money to invest in other property and syndicates. Seem like a good idea? Not sure if we are over leveraging ourselves and it’s worth the risk.
