[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Still trying to figure out what in the world companies like McKinsey even provide that is of any value, let alone what any consultant in the world is worth over a $1M salary.

Sorry, a consultant is far below someone like a surgeon in value.

Let's be honest.  Consulting is just a gig the elitists from the ivies use to enrich themselves at the expense of society while doing a whole bunch of crap to ruin the country and lay people off.  It's just a checkbox to fill out on your resume after college to get into the special club of elitists. [/quote]

This is… a take. There’s lots of undesirable things about consulting and consultants, but it seems hard to understand why the world would be complicit in a scheme as simplistic as the one you describe. Some consultants help people implement complex software. Some help people figure out if it’s worth it to open a new market. Some help you sort out how many distribution warehouses you need to expand. Or how many you need now that you’ve shrunk. If you’re a global company, you can’t afford to screw these things up. That makes the service worth something.

If you’re upset that firms have organized themselves to do this at some kind of scale and therefore can pay people more than you think is fair, I get it. But if similar criticism could be directed at every kind of professional services firm, from law firms and accounting giants to PR firms and software implementers, then the issue may be you not understanding the value more than seeing more clearly than everyone else.[/quote]
