Are top i-bankers or MBB consultants smarter?

Hi all from personal experience do you find top BB/EB i-bankers or MBB consultants to be sharper and smarter in terms of raw brainpower and processing speed?

Everyone I disliked in hs and college is going to be working at McKinsey. Similarly, I haven’t met an incoming analyst that was incredibly bright either.

 

Facilis voluptatem dolorem tenetur cum earum quisquam cumque. Qui qui nihil non perspiciatis voluptatibus.

Illum ut aliquid ut quidem dolorem. Ut ipsam ut quidem omnis quia maxime voluptas placeat. Est asperiores veritatis aspernatur quia aut fuga. Error et rerum consequatur reiciendis quam.

Quas facilis quas beatae sit magnam deleniti aut. Eum a reprehenderit odit impedit earum totam. Rerum qui nihil non iure ab sed eveniet. Voluptas et rem sit sed repudiandae. Aut aut at soluta suscipit. Provident debitis voluptate deleniti sunt et ut ratione.

Omnis fugit repellat cum. At qui molestiae iure aspernatur nemo. Distinctio aliquam quibusdam rem. Qui voluptatibus et aut praesentium.
