Management Consulting Tier List + Booze Alan

Often in consulting, we hear about the big three: McKinley, Baim, and BCG. Yet this framework is misguided. Up with McKinley, Baim, and BCG is Booze Alan Hamilton, the greatest of all consulting firms. 

Why is this the case? 

1. Booze Alan has a wargaming department position. At what other firm can you sit down all day and play Paradox Games for a 9-5. 

2. Booze Alan is top house because no other frat is named after booze. I know they get lit there. Wtf is a mckinley or baim. Those names such. BCG lacks creativity. 

3. Booze Alan consults for cooler clients. Booze Alan does a lot of consulting work for the government. No other client has the ability to detonate nuclear weapons, drop tomahawk land attack missiles on Syrians, and forcibly take money from consumers.

4. I heard Hamilton and Alan were pretty chill. They bring booze.

Therefore, Booze Alan Hamilton is better than McKinley or Baim.

My strategic recommendation is to rename MBB to MBBB.
