I know it's hard for you to believe that someone would actually turn down Mck, but the reality is, I was given a Mck offer for my 2nd-choice office, which didn't coincide with my then-fiance's location. So, despite how Mck on my CV would cause 500 CEOs to call me up everyday begging me to come work for them, I was stupid enough to accept the offer from another top firm near my fiance.
Please, dig up a post where I contadicted myself or claimed to attend Wharton for MBA. As for what others have said about me, dig that up too -- I know it's uncomfortable for people to have their perceptions and assumptions challenged (though it's ironic that so many 'consultants' would!).
This EUC guy is a shining example of why Mck is "in decline". His entire existence rests on getting a "prestigious" job to impress people -- his way of getting back at all the kids who teased him in high school and the girls who shot him down. I have no doubt that EUC can do long division in his head, but he definitely can't lead a team or sell projects or persuade clients to implement solutions. So good luck at your 2 years at Mck. And when you go to apply to other jobs after Mck uses you to crank out a couple PPT decks that any other idiot could have done then counsels you out, just tell the hiring managers that you "worked for mck". Your future is golden! |

Didn't really wanted to waste my time with this bitter dude aka ??Im-full-of-it-kid?? but I'll spare 15 mins and write what he asked for. Im-full-of-it-kid stated:
"Please, dig up a post where I contadicted myself or claimed to attend Wharton for MBA??I did get my undergrad at Wharton and my MBA from Kellogg. I never said otherwise??
Come on Im-full-of-it-kid, you really have MBA from Kellogg? You are 27 years old with no MBA and a habitual liar. You graduated Wharton undergrad in 2000 as you said above and worked in consulting for four years. From what you said, you joined F500 pharma co in 2004/2005. Tell us how you got your Kellogg MBA with your busy schedule after reading your own post below.

Not sure whose post you read, but I graduated from Wharton in 2000, worked for a "m/b/b" for 4 years, and now work in mktg strategy at a pharma firm. What's your background?
---
You also said you are a hiring manager of your F500 pharma company. Assuming you started at your current company in 2004 or 2005 at age 26 and after about a year of experience you are now a hiring manager. Please??

As for the alumni network, the hiring managers I know (I'm one of them) don't give a sh*t what firm you worked for.

You said you have a wife who is McK consultant and she laments all time about her moron co-workers. She must be at least AP or Principal now right? You said you choose to dump a McKinsey offer and go to a different city after graduating undergrad at Wharton in 2000 because you wanted to be with your wife who got an offer from McKinsey. If she is still working now as you said (5 years) it means that she was most likely started out as an associate when she began at the Firm in 2000. I would presume you were about 22 when you graduated Wharton and your wife a Wharton MBA grad. I find it *very* hard to believe that at age 18-21 you were married to Wharton MBA student who was probably 4-5 years older than you were.

My wife, however, now works for Mck -- so my perspective is not completely uninformed/biased??My wife tells me daily about some of the morons she works with.

Folks, if you don't remember whartonkid's ridiculous postings from a few months ago, it's worth paying for gold membership just to read them. For one thing, he talks about how he's a wharton senior, and now he says he spent 4 years post-b-school. I don't know what he is except an embarassment to everyone in Huntsman Hall.
