Average frumpy midwit strivers from large public universities who "fell into it". Many try to seek out a more prestigious university for their MBA because they're painfully insecure about their degree mill BA. No kid goes to college dreaming of becoming a consultant, let alone a consultant at freakin' Deloitte.

How else can a frumpy midwit striver make a 6 figure wage by 30 and squeeze into UMC lifestyle by hanging in there long enough?
I mean this is one way this society allows us to climb out of plebs life style, I am taking it no matter what glamorous high wit genius like you say 👻

A state school striver can make $200K by age 30 or 35 in countless fields, most of which are far more fulfilling than a grifter at a mid tier consulting firm. $150K-225K is frankly not much coin, especially in a pricey coastal city. 10 to 15 years consulting at a mid tier firm is throwing the prime of your life away on...nothing. It's...pointless. Especially if you held off on marriage and/or kids, you will look back and realize how pointless it all was. A total waste of the best years of your life.

$150-225K isn’t that much?

I make 225, we have 2 incomes. we can afford a super nice house (10 year old, 3500 sqft), 36k tax, and I just paid for a nice trip to FL for the kids, it’s a lot of money, I don’t even have time to spend it all… just saved 109k last year in cash.

I literally cannot think of any company/org someone could say they worked for that would illicit this kind of response from me (although I’d judge someone who worked for the NRA I guess)

A job is a job. If it pays the bills for these folks, great! They aren’t destroying the rainforest as far as I know…

I live in Switzerland now, and let me tell you - two mega corps with a big presence here make McKinsey look much better. Just take a guess.

Like tech? Tech only started making big bucks after 2015…

PP was boasting that 30 or 32 year old managers at Deloitte make $200K. A college graduate with an advanced degree can do just about anything and climb the ladder and make $200K by their early 30s. You don’t have to be wedded to a mediocre consulting firm for your prime to make that kind of cash.

I seriously doubt that “just about anything” can get you to 200K by early 30s.

Google IPOed in 2004 making its young and old employees millionaires to billionaires.

Amazon IPOed in 1997 but was stingier with pay.

Also, if you go back 10-30 years, you have to adjust for inflation to understand pay.

20 years ago, a top college grad could get $90K+/yr with a bachelor's only, age 22. Our coastal homes cost half as much then. Add promotion raises and raises matching inflation to that.

My whole point is, consulting is one way for a non-top student who also struggles with getting promotion to hit 200k.

Less than 10% of the population makes $200k. You people are nuts thinking it is so easy to make that kind of income with just a bachelor's.

They probably think every tech job pays like Google does. It doesn't. I don't know many people in their early 30s making over 150k.

This website is a bubble.

I seriously doubt that every 30 year old at Deloitte is making 200K.

I believe PP said a ‘Deloitte manager’ when referencing 200K comp at age 30. A manager is going to have a bachelor’s and MBA.

People glorify MBB and say they are so much better, but you wouldn’t believe the number of ex-BCG and McK people ending up in middle of the road strategy manager roles at companies like Target, etc.

I think people have a visceral negative opinion on Deloitte, ey, kpmg, Accenture, pwc, the old booz etc because they are the most midwit places to work on the planet

Tell that to the Microsoft millionaires in Seattle. Microsoft made so many employees millionaires in the 1990s that Seattle's biggest growth industry was philanthropy as the 30 year old Microsoft millionaires wanted to give away significant sums of money in a responsible manner. Folks actually hired counselors for advice regarding donating money to charitable causes.
