Lateral to McDonalds?
Hello Monkeys,
I went to McDonalds for breakfast today to purchase my $3.17 bacon egg and cheese biscuit because my portfolio was up. The person at the register asked me what I did for work. I told him I was an Investment Banker (tier 1 bank). He proceeded to laugh in my face saying we made the same amount of money based on the hours we worked. I was shocked, however, this got me thinking. Should I leave the desk and pursue a career at McDonalds? I heard Hamburglar University (target) is very prestigious and places well into the management stream.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Hamburger University ranks better than Deloitte University last I heard
Yes, but McDonald’s isn’t the most prestigious fast food restaurant. It’s five guys/chipotle, but they only hire people with 2 years exp at a lower tier Taco Bell/McDonald’s/Burger King. The skill set that you’d learn at McDonald’s would set you up nicely for a lateral
As long you as you don't talk about a certain you know what. And after all, didn't you tell us about being slaves with white collars? That our great war is a spiritual war? Our great depression is our lives? WSO raised us all to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires?
ngl, I don't think you'd qualify. McDonalds is a semi-target, and unless you've been flipping burgers since ~3rd yr University, you're just not gonna survive the interview process. Even with a referral from the guy and all, it's gonna be an uphill process.
Should I network, maybe build some burger models in my free time?
That'll help quite a bit. Make sure to read the weekly menus the firm publishes as well. Make sure to highlight the ingredients and showcase your gastronomy knowledge across the process.
McDonalds used to be tier 1 but through years of mismanagement it's been surpassed by others. In particular Shake Shack places well when you transition to fast casual, but I heard it's very sweaty.
Also Burger King is moving up the ranks. Have you seen the latest materials? Something about Whopper whopper, really cutting edge stuff these days.
