GettingDrunkInFirstClass BlogI couldn’t possibly turn it down. If a managing partner asks you to do something, whether it sounds optional or not, it is the word of God himself. If you deny Him, how will you ever even have a chance at becoming Him? Who isn’t willing to sell their soul for a shot at a cool $800K+ per year [someday, maybe].

Are you fucking serious?

The difference between bankers and consultants is bankers know they contribute nothing, do nothing, and are extremely over paid. Thus the constant comparison to a monkey. Any hard working semi-intelligent money-monger can do what we do. Consultants think they are fucking doing something with their lives, and they get paid shit on a stick, they somehow think its better than being in the corporate office at Kroger supermarket because there you only get paid shit, no stick included.

The above quoted paragraph demonstrates perfectly what complete tools these people(not all of them) are. How many bankers worship their MD and hope to someday become him? WTF? And you're aspiring to make 800K (someday, maybe)?

You'd make better money turning tricks at the port authority bus terminal? What, your dad did that to make a better life for his kids, and he'll be damned if you have to do the same too? To each his own.

 

eh, don't wanna start the consulting v banking wars again, but yeah there are def times when consultants add value. it's not a matter of them being particularly smart as much as wide swaths of the rest of corporate america are populated by the kids who got c-'s in public school freshman algebra...

and really, you often see partners from consulting firms going on to greater things...the co-Pres of MS is an ex-mck partner, just to stay within ibanking, for ex. there are countless ceo's who are ex-MBB...
