Based on some of what I've been hearing recently, even people currently employed at the Big 3 (M/B/B) want to quit for a number of reasons, especially because the nature of the work is basically boring now. either really short boring research projects or no projects at all.
Would anyone else like to confirm or disagree with this? (preferably someone who is working at one of these firms or has the inside scoop?) What's going on? If this is true, why are people still working so hard to get these jobs? Isn't it a waste of time these days? |

I work for a boutique and we recently pitched to a VC against BCG who offered to do a benchmarking exercise for ??11,000.
For the project in question I can't see how BCG would have not made a loss on this project. In fact I can't believe BCG are undertaking work for peanuts like this. They must be bloody desperate.
