I wish I had joined consulting as a healthy white guy. Instead I’m the exact opposite of that and I’m not sure which industry was made to cater to me. Def not consulting.

I understand being white would help but being brown is kinda tight we have culture and good food. Start working out, being healthy is completely in your hands.

We are just referring to white Americans and their culture, or lack thereof.

If you're not healthy, why on earth would you pick an industry with such a high burn rate as consulting, especially at MBB?

Whoa. Ok. Did not know that. That’s pretty great.

Did you just use “healthy” white guy as a cop out for “able bodied” white guy?
The political correctness is going to be the end of communication!

Do you have serious health issues, or are you using “healthy” as a PC substitute for “fit and attractive?”

I’m attractive but my health is abysmal. When I said healthy I didn’t necessarily mean disabled as much as I meant in good enough health to do the job properly, but the more I think of my body the more I’m realizing I definitely qualify as disabled.
