People being let go bc of comparing performance against peers is bs. upgrading the team? how come other rigorous fields (investment banking, medicine, Big Law, oil & gas engineering, trading firms, etc) don’t feel the need to do this, yet they have the right people the teams need every year 😂 consulting isn’t the most rigorous/difficult/or prestigious career. just say it’s for the greed of the firm, at the cost of unempathetically uprooting employees lives & at least you’ll be honest.

I’m 33 and starting to feel like I’m aging out of consulting. This is a young man’s game and I now have 3 kids and am tired. Time to plot my exit to industry 🙂.

Anyone else applying everywhere and hearing nothing?

Anybody else have a harder time getting a job after leaving McKinsey than before you joined? Exited the firm over a year and a half ago and I have not been able to secure an offer ANYWHERE, despite having many interviews.

How do you respond when at Partner starts yelling at you/your team? How do you respond?
