[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are simply too many employees at top consulting firms for any of them to, on average, qualify as "very smart," or really to possess any common desirable characteristic. They are fine, that is all. In fact, there are so many merely above average people that end up at top firms that I'm not sure employer or position means much of anything. Source: I have taught thousands of students at three universities who end up in these positions, both at the undergraduate and graduate level. [/quote] Actually, I should add one exception. If there is any characteristic jointly shared by people at top firms, it is that they are good at managing impressions (self-presentation)[/quote] That’s part of winning genetic lottery and have upper social economic resources (shy kids going to private school, shorter kids get to pay for less popular sports classes, knowing how to interact with different people with confidence).[/quote]
