Consulting Son or CorpDev Daughter?

Hey monkeys!

After completing my internship at a top IB (investment bank), I've decided to re-install WSO! My senior year course load is fairly light (NYU, Econ, 21m), so I have the time. Pumped I got a return offer, my dad said his team was very impressed with my effort!

Anyways, I was debating this question with some friends (who also go to NYU) at lunch: consulting son or corpdev daughter? Personally, I'd rather have a consulting son, although this means they will likely be gay. I just think it'd be hard to be a women in CorpDev given how many smart men there are out there.

Excited to hear yall's thoughts, and glad to be back on WSO!

Best,
Jeffery

The answer Jeffery, is actually CorpDev daughter, so she can marry into another elite family. If you have a chudsulting son, he will be unattractive to any girls, especially those at top universities (NYU). Ladies date up, after all.

 

Back in my days as an assistant branch manager at the Wells Fargo - Anchorage branch, we hired 2 consultants to decide which of our tellers to lay off.

The consultants arrived to the office with a box of UberEats chipotle double chicken bowls which they expensed to the company. They forgot to bring these in.

By the time we were done with our meeting, the parking lot had 3 polar bears eating the food. One of them had taken a giant shit on my car. Since then, I decided I'd never trust a consultant again.
