Trust me -- the "m/b/b or bust crowd" you reference consists of a bunch of insecure losers who never got laid (in hs, college, or bschool) and whose lives revolve entirely around their work and impressing the guy at the bus stop (or the floosie at the bar who heard that, like, chelsea works for, like, mckinsey, so they're, like, really good). I have yet to encounter anyone on Vault who can provide substantive proof that m/b/b are "better" than BAH. It's not like we even disagree on the metrics along which to assess "better"; they don't offer any metrics at all, except maybe for the Vault rankings and which firm their grandmother has heard of more.
BAH has the same rev/consultant as bcg and bain, I make just as much as my buddies at m/b/b, I get the same calls from headhunters, and I do the same type of work. Glad to hear some people are beginning to understand this! |

Boozer2005 says "I have yet to encounter anyone on Vault who can provide substantive proof that m/b/b are "better" than BAH."
Interesting question. How about:
1. How many Fortune 500 CEOs are alumni of each firm?
2. How many Harvard Business Reviews articles have been published by employees of each firm?
3. How many MBA students who have offers from all four firms select each?
Come one consultants, what other metrics can you suggest?
