This industry is a scam. I don't know why anyone would work here instead of tech. McKinsey reported 2% growth rate in 2024, literally lost to inflation (3-4%). This is a fatal structural blow to the business model + total failure to capitalize on AI growth. BCG/Bain not even in the picture. In the onboarding class of my MBB earlier this year, not ONE had a background or education in tech. Garbage in, garbage out. This dying scam industry needs to shut down and just return the money to sharehold

Us and BCG have grown double digits globally last year.

All the proper tech people in MBB go to QuantumBlack/Gamma/AIS.

This post reads like someone who’s 23 years old and hasn’t figured out the industry yet.

lol, this did remind me of myself a bit. I’ve been lurking on here, but not posting really. I’m enjoying my 100% wfh role too much to subjugate/apply myself to working in office under a grouchy mbb partner. Having more fun 💩posting on the r/consulting reddit instead lately tbh

As an ex BCGer who now is doing well in tech this post tells me you know nothing or minimum about tech as an industry and a profession.
Be humble and learn at McK. It’ll help you in the long career run.

How does one tell their boss (owner of the company) that you are burnt out? The sheer volume of work is exhausting and I haven’t taken a true vacation as we are a small company so if something urgent comes to my email I feel like I must respond. I was given an additional title and more responsibilities last year as well but only a 3% raise for it.
