Which schools DON'T go to the "other" pile for McKinsey?

Nestle is still the most evil company in the world as far as I'm concerned. Not many others knowingly killed babies

I think the case of Nestle is more nuanced. But what I think we can agree on is that nowadays, McKinsey would absolutely be advising Nestle on how to maximize market share and cover up baby deaths/illnesses caused by their practices. It would have been 10x worse.

Who would want their kid to work at that place? Gross.

I hate what this area has become. Students aspiring to be MBB consultants instead of nonprofit workers. FinTech instead of medicine. BigLaw instead of ADAs or DoJ. I’m not even that old but I feel angry and resentful, missing the more innocent days of the nineties.

Non-profits are not the do-gooder, morally pure places you think they are. Read up on the non-profit industrial complex.

Also, a decent number of MBB alumni end up in the non-profit sphere after their 2 year stint at McKinsey. Just a testament to how the same insidious forces at consulting firms apply to (not so pure and do-gooder) non-profits.

Isn’t some of this just a numbers game? The main difference I notice between the oage for a “targeted school” vs others is that there is a “designated recruiter” for the targeted colleges. Of course there will be many more qualified applicants from Michigan/Cal than Willims, on a raw numbers basis, so would make sense they designate a recruiter for bigger colleges/ivies. I don’t think you can extrapolate that means they inherently value grads of Michigan over Williams, just using these colleges as examples.

+1. And it is a miserable job.

+3. Also check out the NYT series from last weekend on how McKinsey advised non profit hospitals to collect bills from patients who were legally entitled to free charity care.

And the NYT piece on their work with the Saudis.

I’m not some bleeding heart do Goode but I’d be so disappointed if my kid worked at McKinsey, like I’d wonder where things went wrong.

Lol is this a Barnard booster? Barnard is not considered an "Ivy" and is not a target for McK (or MBB at large).

What about Goldman?

I am a moderate independent and I would draw the line with McKinsey. They should be prosecuted or bankrupted by a successful class action lawsuit.

McKinsey sounds worse than GS.

Do gooder here🙋🏻‍♀️ Went into public interest (doj) law and then MPH to “help” society.

This middle class b$&@ who likely left millions on the table with those choices is encouraging DS to grab everything he can get (coming out of a school listed in the OP) Don’t male the same mistakes I did. You can plant trees and join a literacy project if you want to “help.”

So you'd be okay with your kid contributing to the opioid crisis?

I know. I try to stay out of my kid's life but I've definitely conveyed this.
