Guess so, I don't particularly care about name. I do care that we're paid 30-40% higher at all levels.

We’ve got a lot to do to get our house in order to beat Bain besides any acquisitions.
I’m an MBB alumni and would love to say we’re on that level but we are not yet.

Yeah, research team is a part of it but it’s also having subject matter experts who know a ton of stuff about industries that compliment the research teams.
Yes, they spend significantly more time on training than we do.
They also have a feedback culture where it is expected and we most certainly do not. People who work with me seem surprised when I schedule recurring bi-weekly feedback and say that rarely happens on other teams.

We have tried multiple times.

We don’t need LEK to beat Bain. But it would be nice to have that extra capacity to be able to serve all the demand

Fair. It’d still be more business for us. Just imagine all the pull through!!

How to politely decline unsolicited advice? A colleague of the same pay grade as me is leading a task and I am helping him with it.

Is it okay if I ignore his advice or will it come off as rude?
