Welcome to the meaning void that fills our society...."I want a job that pays as much as possible while contributing as little as possible with no responsibility". No midlife crisis emergencies here.
You prob don't get the grind of what consultants do to get that cushy salary. I'm not a consultant, but it sucks. I made it to final round interviews with McKinsey and BCG. They work 60 to 65 hour weeks and are traveling often thousand mile flights every single week living 4 days a week in a hotel. So they spend 200 out of 365 days a year in a hotel. That 60 to 65 hours is just work time if you add on travel or time away from home it's much more. Post MBA you go in as an associate which is 2nd level up from bottom, analyst. Most post MBA do not get promoted from associate either because they can't stand that much work and travel or they aren't considered good enough for promotion. There's limited spots at VP+ and more associates than roles open there.
At the end of the day, they may not actually make a difference or contribute anything, but their job still sucks ass with the hours spent on work and out of home.
@@mikeguidry2577The point of consulting is not to work at a consulting agency. It's to become an associate then get hired as an exec at a major company. Man I really dislike corpos

As someone with a marketing degree, the statement “Marketeers are dumb” certainly is true. That degree takes NO effort to get. The hardest thing is remembering the countless, useless terms you need to write down for your exams. Also, if you do not like abbreviations, do NOT get into marketing. Apparently marketeers love shortening things
Marketing is just one of those skills you get on the experience, not from sitting down listening to lectures all day long coming from a regretted marketing grad😂😭🫡

@@bigmouthprick5852Demand changes, supply changes. Right now, demand is lower and supply is higher than ever. Demand - IRS tax laws and high interest rates have made hiring less desirable.

Many of whom are not smart, didn’t go to prestigious schools, and are pretty much screwed and have to get a job not related to their field of study.
Yeah but that is true of all college jobs. At least every engineering field. I graduated in 2007 and salaries are basically the same today as they were then. There are just so many people out there with these degrees now.

It navigates between insightful commentary and a humoristic, serious journalism vibe, striking the perfect chord of wit and wisdom without descending into rudeness or nonsense. 10/10

I remember I got accepted to UC Riverside MBA program. And it seemed like they wanted me more than I wanted them especially considering I had a 2.8 GPA in my undergrad in civil engineering and my GRE scores were average. I even wrote some fake recommendation letters to see if I could get in but I put in little effort in those letters. They were sloppy. Days later, I got an acceptance letter. They further tried to entice me by saying UC Riverside MBA program’s connection UCLA MBA’s program. After seeing the minimum $80K of student loan debt I would amass in 3 years at UC Riverside, I declined. I chose San Diego State’s master program in engineering. It cost me nothing after financial aid. Glad I made that decision. A UC Riverside MBA degree would’ve been worthless and I would’ve been sitting on over $100K in student debt. I see why these business schools love to accept underqualified students into their program. They don’t care if you graduate or not. They just care about making money off each student even it ruins his or her young life.
I worked at the gym these students go to for the most part. I can confirm they're all exactly the same. Professor Freeman is an absolute baller at Handball, btw

I read on reddit how someone was defining consulting. She was like we talk in a meeting about a bunch of things then go to another meeting to talk about what you just talked about in the last meeting. And get paid like $300k/yr doing it. I wish I was smarter
They aren't smarter they were just born rich and well connected Consulting is basically just a fake job where you do a couple hours of work a week instead of a full 40 hours and get paid absurd amounts of money for it , it's a giant scheme for rich executives to give fake jobs to their rich children Manhattan is full of these do nothing rich kids who work as consultants
I used to be a consultant with one of the big 4 and imo there are two types of consultant - those who roll up their sleeves and get shut done and those who manage. The latter are the useless ones, but they are also the more likely to get promoted.
In what way do you mean? If you're referring to the fact that while most jobs require a degree as a barrier to entry the degree isn't necessary to do the job, I would mostly agree. Most jobs don't really utilize the things you learn in school and many jobs now require degrees they didn't 30 years ago, without the job changing by any significant manner - a phenomenon an Atlantic writer called something like credential inflation. If you mean that getting a university degree isn't worth it, the data on that is very much clear that it is. In terms of job prospects and lifetime earnings, university degrees are extremely valuable and one of the biggest determining factors of whatever upward mobility is still possible these days. Of course that is for undergraduate degrees, not graduate degrees. And how valuable an Ivy League degree is over any degree, such as from a state school, and whether it's actually the degree or the connections you make, is much more contested and demographically specific.
I think they are convinced the market treats mba's the same way it did when they were in school and they see it as akin to having an engineering degree or something. They also don't have a concept of the debt that comes with those degrees in 2024 because they think that the high paying jobs that lined up for them still do so today. My father got an MBA in Healthcare Admin and went straight into private/state Healthcare analysis. He worked in it for 13 years, purchased a home, resold it, and almost made a 6 figure salary before he left the industry. I can understand why he thinks it's a golden bullet and why hes confused i wouldn't pay for one, but he also has lots of student loan debt from the degree so I can't understand why he wants me to get one💀😂
I think my MBA was worth it. I went in knowing it was a BS degree but I met amazing people, traveled to amazing places I never would have otherwise, and tripled my income landing jobs I never would have otherwise. At the end of the day, a top MBA is just a sticker on your resume that can get you through the screening process of most jobs, make substantial pivots quickly, a place you can meet many smart people your age, and a place you can participate in organized travel and learn about global economies in a great (albeit expensive) way. Definitely worth it if you go to a top 20 school AND can get a decent scholarship. You can succeed without it but it has been a great life accelerator, reset button, and jump start for me, graduating at age 30 and going into FAANG, and with a new circle for adulthood.
really depends on the business school tbf. Yea if we're talking University of Virginia, its probably pretty easy. Try getting in LSE or Bocconi however and you'll quickly find its not as easy as you'd think
The corporate executives use MBA consultants as shields, when they screw up blame they blame the consultant, if it succeeds take credit for it. And most Rich executives know how the game is played , and that consultants are rich well connected kids who do nothing all day and pull 6 figure salaries. Thir own loser kids will also become future consultants and their rich exec friends will hire them
A few billion years of evolution on Earth, it's your turn, you are now alive and get the absolute magical opportunity to experience life as a human being!... ... So you can get in line and become a miserable and broke product of corporate greed by desperately trying to get a job in consulting. There is something truly poetic here.

As a consultant/contractor who works for myself (and I had worked at a consultancy) for the last 18 yrs in London and I had worked with the top 10 MBAs in the world. My observations are, they were generally mis-sold to what they had "learnt" a lot of them had regretted but with 6 figures loans. My observations are, you do an MBA due to mainly 4 reasons. 1 getting into investment banking, 2 consultancy, 3 start your own business and 4 go back to your old work/industry and get a job which is maybe a role above what you had left from. Beside getting into investment banking (where you need it as your foot at the door), I see the other 3 options doesn't need an MBA. Consultancy unless you go to top tier like McKinsey or BSG. Deliotte will have you anyway, they will human traffic you to clients and will groom you. Save the money of you MBA and start your business. For going back to your prior job /industry simply work harder or upskilll practical skills to get promoted. MBA is a club and it protects its members like a cult. For me I would not hire any MBAs, as they get told they are awesome but can't even do an Excel vlookup or expect things to just work
I went to MIT Sloan full time MBA and don't fit in your 4 things. I went from being an engineer to now finance/business dev/asset mgmt at a Renewables startup (clean hyrdogen/ammonia). Maybe not considered startup as it has a $500 mil valuation. I made it to final rounds with McKinsey and BCG and got rejected. Sucked ass I fucking put everything into it. Turned out to be okay bc I now work prob 50-60% of the hours they do (30 to 35 hrs a week) and I make prob 85% of what they do, and if we get the funding for our project (which we're halfway there and have a lot of interest), I'll be making $400k a year as the project valuation is 8x what the company valuation is. We'd sell it in 4 years. Getting rejected final round (twice from Mckinsey) and BCG may be best thing that happened to me. We'll see.
Take it from someone with didn't go to one of the top schools with an MBA, it's definitely not worth it. I've even started to leave it off of my resume.
MBA are for rich kids who have rich parents, so that their parents can justify paying absurd salaries to basically young kids with no experience to do basically nothing They basically spend all day working out, playing tennis and maybe once a week attend a meeting where they pull out a PowerPoint and bullshit Then they collect their 100k->200k salaries Many of these consultants live in places like NYC the playground of the rich And these leeches basically do nothing all day, you can see them milling around in Manhattan all day. Seemingly never working
@akadaafrica5841 probably because the MBA is worthless, it's only useful if you have rich parents who can use their connections to get you a bullshit job that requires 2 hours of work a week and nets a 200k salary Dumb idiots will fall for the scam, the average salary, median salary is extremely misleading
@@akadaafrica5841 Yes, people who are hiring MBA's are 100% deciding whether you're hirable or not based on the name of the school on the resume. I went to MIT Sloan full time MBA and getting a call back on a resume or response happens pretty easily.
Being a young college dropout entrepreneur and having run a 30 people tech company; I shiver encountering these MBAs, they can bulldoze my decade long experience real life with their 2 years of world class training in Jargon and Bullshitting (popularly known as consulting); Damn - 4:56.
I work in finance for at a FAANG company and most people I work with have MBAs but have the same job as me. We make the same, have about the same tenure with the company and the same responsibilities. Only difference is they are 2 years older and have debt. Maybe MBAs get you in the door but honestly bachelors do that as well. Just start working, work hard and the MBA is not needed. Only get one after 5-10 years of experience and you want to be a C-Suite or something very specific. Getting one with little to no work experience I truly don’t get the point you’ll generally start in the same spot as everyone else.

Welcome to the meaning void that fills our society...."I want a job that pays as much as possible while contributing as little as possible with no responsibility". No midlife crisis emergencies here.
You prob don't get the grind of what consultants do to get that cushy salary. I'm not a consultant, but it sucks. I made it to final round interviews with McKinsey and BCG. They work 60 to 65 hour weeks and are traveling often thousand mile flights every single week living 4 days a week in a hotel. So they spend 200 out of 365 days a year in a hotel. That 60 to 65 hours is just work time if you add on travel or time away from home it's much more. Post MBA you go in as an associate which is 2nd level up from bottom, analyst. Most post MBA do not get promoted from associate either because they can't stand that much work and travel or they aren't considered good enough for promotion. There's limited spots at VP+ and more associates than roles open there.
At the end of the day, they may not actually make a difference or contribute anything, but their job still sucks ass with the hours spent on work and out of home.
@@mikeguidry2577The point of consulting is not to work at a consulting agency. It's to become an associate then get hired as an exec at a major company.

What I learned: consultants are liabilities and will only give you vague, unhelpful, and unreliable answers. Time to never hire a consultant
That's why consultants are great. They will give you a presentation on exactly what you pay them for which conveniently is what you already decided to do, but didn't want to take accountability for
If I were running a business, I'd consult an expert in the field, not someone who calls themselves consultant.

All your content since “What does a consultant do?” has been 10/10. Always fun to watch. Keep up the good work. 😉
Here’s how you know your company has hired a consultant. They start doing really dumb shit and laying off employees they actually need. If these people knew how to run a business then they would run a business but they don’t know shit but how to trick rich people into listening to them.
and “how to give answers even if you don’t know what the answer is but also to convince them to listen to you”
I mean maybe that wanted to lay off employees etc, but hired a consultant firm to blame them for falling off

I remember I got accepted to UC Riverside MBA program. And it seemed like they wanted me more than I wanted them especially considering I had a 2.8 GPA in my undergrad in civil engineering and my GRE scores were average. I even wrote some fake recommendation letters to see if I could get in but I put in little effort in those letters. They were sloppy. Days later, I got an acceptance letter. They further tried to entice me by saying UC Riverside MBA program’s connection UCLA MBA’s program. After seeing the minimum $80K of student loan debt I would amass in 3 years at UC Riverside, I declined. I chose San Diego State’s master program in engineering. It cost me nothing after financial aid. Glad I made that decision. A UC Riverside MBA degree would’ve been worthless and I would’ve been sitting on over $100K in student debt. I see why these business schools love to accept underqualified students into their program. They don’t care if you graduate or not. They just care about making money off each student even it ruins his or her young life.

As someone with a PhD. I can’t stress enough how unbelievably overrated university degrees are.
In what way do you mean?
If you're referring to the fact that while most jobs require a degree as a barrier to entry the degree isn't necessary to do the job, I would mostly agree. Most jobs don't really utilize the things you learn in school and many jobs now require degrees they didn't 30 years ago, without the job changing by any significant manner - a phenomenon an Atlantic writer called something like credential inflation.
If you mean that getting a university degree isn't worth it, the data on that is very much clear that it is. In terms of job prospects and lifetime earnings, university degrees are extremely valuable and one of the biggest determining factors of whatever upward mobility is still possible these days.
Of course that is for undergraduate degrees, not graduate degrees. And how valuable an Ivy League degree is over any degree, such as from a state school, and whether it's actually the degree or the connections you make, is much more contested and demographically specific.
Depends on the degree

I think my MBA was worth it. I went in knowing it was a BS degree but I met amazing people, traveled to amazing places I never would have otherwise, and tripled my income landing jobs I never would have otherwise. At the end of the day, a top MBA is just a sticker on your resume that can get you through the screening process of most jobs, make substantial pivots quickly, a place you can meet many smart people your age, and a place you can participate in organized travel and learn about global economies in a great (albeit expensive) way. Definitely worth it if you go to a top 20 school AND can get a decent scholarship. You can succeed without it but it has been a great life accelerator, reset button, and jump start for me, graduating at age 30 and going into FAANG, and with a new circle for adulthood.

11:35 to 12:15 is a fantastic explanation for why the MBA makes sense for the corporations.
The corporate executives use MBA consultants as shields, when they screw up blame they blame the consultant, if it succeeds take credit for it.
And most Rich executives know how the game is played , and that consultants are rich well connected kids who do nothing all day and pull 6 figure salaries. Thir own loser kids will also become future consultants and their rich exec friends will hire them

As a consultant/contractor who works for myself (and I had worked at a consultancy) for the last 18 yrs in London and I had worked with the top 10 MBAs in the world. My observations are, they were generally mis-sold to what they had "learnt" a lot of them had regretted but with 6 figures loans. My observations are, you do an MBA due to mainly 4 reasons. 1 getting into investment banking, 2 consultancy, 3 start your own business and 4 go back to your old work/industry and get a job which is maybe a role above what you had left from. Beside getting into investment banking (where you need it as your foot at the door), I see the other 3 options doesn't need an MBA. Consultancy unless you go to top tier like McKinsey or BSG. Deliotte will have you anyway, they will human traffic you to clients and will groom you. Save the money of you MBA and start your business. For going back to your prior job /industry simply work harder or upskilll practical skills to get promoted. MBA is a club and it protects its members like a cult. For me I would not hire any MBAs, as they get told they are awesome but can't even do an Excel vlookup or expect things to just work
I went to MIT Sloan full time MBA and don't fit in your 4 things. I went from being an engineer to now finance/business dev/asset mgmt at a Renewables startup (clean hyrdogen/ammonia). Maybe not considered startup as it has a $500 mil valuation. I made it to final rounds with McKinsey and BCG and got rejected. Sucked ass I fucking put everything into it. Turned out to be okay bc I now work prob 50-60% of the hours they do (30 to 35 hrs a week) and I make prob 85% of what they do, and if we get the funding for our project (which we're halfway there and have a lot of interest), I'll be making $400k a year as the project valuation is 8x what the company valuation is. We'd sell it in 4 years.
Getting rejected final round (twice from Mckinsey) and BCG may be best thing that happened to me. We'll see.
Take it from someone with didn't go to one of the top schools with an MBA, it's definitely not worth it. I've even started to leave it off of my resume.
MBA are for rich kids who have rich parents, so that their parents can justify paying absurd salaries to basically young kids with no experience to do basically nothing
They basically spend all day working out, playing tennis and maybe once a week attend a meeting where they pull out a PowerPoint and bullshit
Then they collect their 100k->200k salaries
Many of these consultants live in places like NYC the playground of the rich
And these leeches basically do nothing all day, you can see them milling around in Manhattan all day. Seemingly never working
Why wasn't it worth it? #curious. Was it because it wasn't a top school?
@akadaafrica5841 probably because the MBA is worthless, it's only useful if you have rich parents who can use their connections to get you a bullshit job that requires 2 hours of work a week and nets a 200k salary
Dumb idiots will fall for the scam, the average salary, median salary is extremely misleading
@@akadaafrica5841 Yes, people who are hiring MBA's are 100% deciding whether you're hirable or not based on the name of the school on the resume. I went to MIT Sloan full time MBA and getting a call back on a resume or response happens pretty easily.

I work in finance for at a FAANG company and most people I work with have MBAs but have the same job as me. We make the same, have about the same tenure with the company and the same responsibilities. Only difference is they are 2 years older and have debt. Maybe MBAs get you in the door but honestly bachelors do that as well. Just start working, work hard and the MBA is not needed. Only get one after 5-10 years of experience and you want to be a C-Suite or something very specific. Getting one with little to no work experience I truly don’t get the point you’ll generally start in the same spot as everyone else.
people should start to see 2 years of big4 or FAANG as a college to learn, I know its hard to enter but better to work hard for it while in bachelors.
