I recently confided in an MD at PwC that I really dislike the BBD culture of this industry. No one gives you the time of day if there is a Bigger Better Deal around...

Someone at her level has already bought into the entire scheme so much, she might very well be lying to herself about the situation and the toxicity of politics and games in consulting.

Much higher in consulting than in industry, because it's much easier to get promoted and work your way up the ladder. Not many MDs at big banks in their early/mid 30s, plenty of Partners at our firms though.

And everyone is obsessed with social climbing to advance their career. She seemed to have no idea what I was talking about. Am I the only person who sees this problem?

Yeah it is likely that they help drive that culture, so they won’t readily agree with you bc that would take some cognitive dissonance or real vulnerability, neither of which they chose.

BBD culture runs deep in the US. Not only in business. It’s what makes it so difficult to have meaningful relationships here. (Yes, I’m an immigrant.)

Do you think women in the industry are paid lesser as compared to men.
Out of personal experience ,I can see that during compensation discussion HR person tries to convince a women candidate for a lesser package . Now this could also be the case where it is much easier to convince women to take up the job for lesser salary.
Whereas the male team member gets paid high (same YOE , same number of switch , similar prev CTC) though women are equally or more talented sometimes.
