I helped my friend land a job in real estate asset management as an analyst. He has a subpar GPA (around 2.5 GPA), and now has a more awesome job and gets paid more than me.

It's written ambiguously, but I believe they want to determine pricing for future clientele. Their current example is just describing their efficacy and value add, not to retroactively charge.

Could also be written as a joke, like people say "I should start charging" after match making friends.

So you weren’t good enough to get him into MBB?

I second this. Someone helped me get into big 4 but staying in was tough. Got cut after my first CRT at PWC

That took a different turn. I thought it was going to be a nice story, not “how can I top up my already high salary by charging the unemployed.”

Kudos! So you know I selected “uplifting” on your post at first, then changed it to a mere “like” when I read you were looking to charge the guy (couldn’t unselect), then changed it back to “uplifting” again. 🙂
