Where the gently caress are all these duplexes that are only $550,000 that you can rent out half of for $130 per night?

Every time I see Goatse, I think of Maureen. That's the last thing I saw. Before I blacked out. The sight of that man's anus.

When your advice on how poor people can beat the housing crisis is "buy a million dollar property"

Yeah dude, let me just dig up this $200,000 in liquid assets I just keep lying around.

Having been to a few of those (but more low key, luckily), I would absolutely have preferred to be home with my family. It's just throwing money at all activity that's supposed to make people feel appreciated and involved, without actually appreciating or involving them. Plus it's forced competitive socializing.

Isn't Deloitte the one with the three years up-or-out policy where you either get promoted or they fire you? Seems like a lot of those jobs will disappear anytime (and be replaced by identical slightly-fresher-faced not-yet-burned-out college grads)

It's a whole carousel, where you go from one consulting house to another, boosting your CV by doing projects that amount to nothing and getting new fancy titles. Also you get paid fat stacks.

Always always a 25 year old with a ping pong table and free yogurt. Nobody over 30 exists.

BTW entry level consultants travel 4 out of 5 days a week, a McKinsey schedule for Jane New Hire looks like:

Monday: early morning flight to Tulsa, rest of day with client including drinks and dinner.
Tuesday: Tulsa
Wednesday: Tulsa
Thursday: Tulsa
Friday: very early AM flight back to NYC, rest of the day in the office. Then mandatory team dinner & drinks after work.
Saturday/Sunday: work on the deck you need for next week which must be flawless in every way and also incorporate every idea your bosses have.

Repeat 51 times a year. Just swap out Tulsa for another midsize city (Des Moines, not Seattle or Miami or San Diego) where the client’s facility is located.

Year One analyst is not going to San Francisco to advise Twitter, they are going to Springfield, Illinois to advise a corn processing plant.

As the Junior on the team, you are collecting everyone’s luggage, renting and driving the car, checking everyone in at the hotel, and making all the dinner arrangements and you better not gently caress any of it up.

You also set up & run the deck and all the audiovisual for the meeting, bare minimum you work with clients IT guys if they have a projector. No do-overs, it better run perfectly.

You will need to find the one hotel and one restaurant in South Bend, Indiana that a bunch of guys paid 500k a year from NYC and London will like. The place the locals find acceptable won’t be fancy enough for your boss. They may suggest Chili’s or Applebees.

Those are your immediate managers, God help you if a VP or Partner is on the trip.

Once or twice a year you will hit the jackpot and have a client that is in a good industry (shoe company) and/or in a legit fun location with attractions (Fort Lauderdale).

That is what you are posting to Insta, not the 11 weeks you spend in an Extended Stay America in Dayton.

a lot of the prestige in management consulting and I’m talking MBB lost its sheen when people realized you could make a lot more money doing less work in tech as a PM etc over the last decade

same with finance

pretty funny to see transplants from both industries realize a lot of their learned behaviors about pecking order don’t matter
