Why do you all do it?
Slaves, corporate slavery - Why do you do it, if you don't HAVE to?
90 hours, 70, 60 hours for a corporate/ bank for just a small piece of the pie? Why?

OP is in the bottom slide
Nabooru seems to fit the accurate definition of a tool given here:
"All of the men in investment banking, asset management, hedge fund, consulting industries are tools. Just observe them and if you happen to eavesdrop on their stupidly superficial conversations about this stock or that rating, you'll realize they know NOTHING and are tools at the very best and in the worst ways."
So you're really asking why we "do it?" Why do you do whatever you do?
"I have consulting interviews coming up, and urgently need mental math prep. Can anyone suggest online (free) resources I can use to pick up my terrible mental math skills? What math strategies are helpful to acing the math part of the consulting interviews?
Other advice on mental math prep is welcome."

IMHO If all the members of this board quit their jobs, collaborated and pooled their knowledge together they can start their own "BANK", I'm sure it would be a force to be reckoned with. Imagine the efficiency.
