Are you insecure? Do you worry that people won’t care about you if you don’t work at a “top” firm? Are you able to take a lot of suck because quitting is for failures? Did you go to a great school and did well because you came from a privileged background? Or are you able to say you went to school “in Boston”?

Welll STEP RIGHT UP SIR/MADAM!

funny

if you refer to them as MBB instead of 3 firms with different cultures, recruiting processes and people, you’ve already lost

Check out the “all things MBB” bowl.

I feel like the title may be self explanatory enough 😂😂
