I agree with EY1 - my practice is great and I really enjoy what I do but I can't help but to lust after MBB. Having said that, I worked with a team of them for a few months and was unimpressed with them. I suspect that the feeling was mutual.

Honestly, I wish you guys were a little less guarded all the time. Feel like every sentence is measured, the whole team shows up...one person speaks in short curt sentences and then everyone disappears. No one says hello if you bump in the cafe or the hotel. Just one data point, so not a generalization at all.

I'm currently working with a team from MBB and I can't help but think about when we work with another Big4 (which I did on my last project), there was always a competitor bashing session and honestly too often the partner was concerned with finding their errors than on our quality. In short, a distraction. Just curious as to how MBB folks look at us since we're not direct competition for the most part. Wonder if it's the same way we look at ACN (sorry ACN!)?

like

Haven't done it, but it's I get my shit done, you get your shit done, and the partners on both sides avoid direct dick-measuring contests and don't try to push the other one out of the nest too obnoxiously. I have done a joint project with McK and that was definitely weird but worked out fine - limited direct interaction other than some joint steerco decks.

Did we have a recent poll on grandest douche firm of all? I can't remember the "winner"🤔

Week 2 update for those who care: Big4 is still keeping strong on competitor bashing while MBB is doing well staying away from the hate ... 😔
