It’s the year 2025. There are no consultants left. Everybody took jobs in industry. The economy is in a tail spin, there’s nobody left to do any actual work. Everyone just keeps calling vendors asking for proposals on work that nobody wants to do. Goldman Sachs has raised associate base salary to 250k. PwC has started recruiting middle school math teams. Somehow Deloitte has a new advertisement boasting a .0004% acceptance rate.

But seriously what G1 said. We have consultants/venders work on things we don't want to do / don't have the capabilities to do well

Not even high school math teams. Whoa.
