OP you answered your own riddle. MC1 10 points to gryffingor for answering the bonus question of where KPMG fits into this

Lol MC1 I thought I was making a joke, don’t take my comment seriously

McK is Darth Plagueis
BCG is Darth Sidious

Bain is... ehh, General Grievous

BCG is Obi Wan
Bain is Willrow Hood

Doesn't fit, but best fit for options. Vader us mckinsey because they have turned to the dark side. Bcg is obviously Wan because they are kicking mck butt. Bain is mace because they are the most secretive and don't know much about them like mace

smart

I know we had a reputation for being secretive in like the Mitt Rmoney days, but we aren’t really now

Have I ever told you the story of Darth(ur) Andersen the Wise?...

funny

It is not a story the Big 4 would tel you

KKR is Jabba.

I’ve been seeing all of the Instagram and Linked In posts from agencies in town showing their “commitment to transparency in hiring” and to hire more minorities in light of the BLM movement. I knew the numbers were bad, but holy shit, not THAT bad.
It’s infuriating to me, as a POC how many fucking times I applied, emailed and reached out to so many of these agencies without getting even the time of day.
I’ll believe their supposed commitments, when I actually see the results.
