Why would McKinsey even be suggested as the example firm who could help Jerry? This seems like interviewer wanted to sound fancy but really missed the mark on who could help.

This is funny because in the episode where George fights with that guy over the suit and the guy ends up being the chef at the restaurant he is having dinner at for a potential job. Those guys he’s eating with are from mckinsey. George actually interviews for a mckinsey job on the show

I mean he’s right. He’s successful and that speaks for itself. What’s McKinsey’s latest public offering? Bad projection numbers? If someone is good that person will iterate over and over his or her business to make sure it’s all straight✊

Unrelated to the McKinsey bit, I think the last paragraph from Seinfeld is the most interesting. Gives all credit to himself and basically argues that because he was inefficient and successful efficiency is bad.

He may have micromanaged it, but I guarantee that show was successful for a whole lot of reasons other than Jerry himself.

And also the whole don’t mistake activity for achievement thing is very true. Sure being inefficient worked out for him but I bet he could’ve been more efficient and gotten there a helluva lot less burnt out

Yeah, not like Larry David or the rest of the cast had anything to do with its success, right?

Wanted to know how different is management consulting in the US via-a-vis India?

Background : working as front end consultant in India. Daily routine is opening laptop at 9AM and doing work till 10ish PM, if the project is tight (which it is in majority cases) closing laptop by 1 or 2 am. Travel depends on project. Sr Managers have no sense of personal space in most companies. Money is goood.
