You know, sometimes I wonder that myself. I think it's mainly our world-class minds. The good looks don't hurt either.

The McKinsey people I’ve met so far have all been very nice and down to earth. Only consultants seem to care about MBB.

The difference between the top talent at T2/B4 and MBB Average is probably not that much the. The difference I’ve noticed in regards to why MBB is more elite is that B4 has a much more range of quality of talent and more people

While I agree with all of this, scale is still a funny way of forgoing responsibility over gaps

Not saying you are doing this D2, EY1, D4. Just excellent framing if I were a leader in this predicament - “Why cant you fix this?” “Because I cant.”

It’s all about ‘Mc’ in front of that ‘Kinsey’. Ray Krock said in the movie , “it’s the name”. No body wants to buy a burger from Krock burgers but the name McDonalds stands out . I guess it’s the same deal with McKinsey .

PS: don’t shoot me , you asked for it
