Hah nerd
No, BCG is the nerdy one. McK is the evil corporatist

Came here to say exactly this. #BBD
No, but that’s not a bad reputation in my opinion. I always saw BCG as the nerdier of the MBBs. Nerds are awesome!
BCG is where the nerds reside ...
As someone from BCG, i can confirm the nerdiness. But that’s what I love about us
From this thread I confirmed:
-Bain folks have a chip and always need to assert they’re cooler than McK
-McK insecurities flare up anytime they think their “prestige” is doubted and assume all haters just want to be them (I’m ex-McK)
-BCG chimes in to make sure they aren’t forgotten and can’t let anyone else have their nerdy/quirky/not evil identity
And OW people are forgotten
It’s just a joke. When someone says their friend works at another big 4 I just say “haha nerd” but it means nothing. Looking too much into this lol

Among the MBB’s, I’d say Bain are def the cool kids. As a self proclaimed nerd, my perception of the firms post-sell weekend(s) was BCG>McK>>Bain. So, her response seems pretty apt!

You need/want a roommate even with that McKinsey salary???
Rising Star
I'd want a roommate (well, flatmate) regardless of cost savings. I find it too depressing to live alone, and I was moving to a new city as a recent grad so I didn't know anyone
if it makes you feel any better whenever I know of someone that works at another Big 4 I go "oh🥴 lol" don't mean anything by it...
Ow is where the nerds are
I'd say that's a nice compliment in our knowledge-based industry.
Nah, we perceive you to be the insecure ones

It’s either nerds or drug dealers, you pick
