You haven't a clue what you're talking about. They are certainly the best and brightest and people are just salty here that someone is better than them. They're all people who got 34+ on ACTs, went to top 20 schools, many founded very successful startups, got 730+ GMAT. I'd like to see you try to get a 34+ on ACT or 730+ GMAT. They are without a doubt tenfold smarter and more successful than your average state school grad. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not true.

And most of that means jack shite in actual business and decision making. I currently work for a F100 company, previously at small independents. I am now surrounded by an echo chamber of "intelligent" individuals who spend their whole time PP presentations, waterfall AFE/Cost analysis. However when they have to make an actual impactful decision, deer in headlights. And when they do make decisions in their own little bubble they have no clue what that entails from an operational standpoint. But before they bring it to the execution team they pump it up to the executives so we are beholden to it. Then when all said and done, the project has single digit IRR and the idiots are back to making creative PP and waterfalls on why it missed so bad.

Have to agree here. Take an average LSU student vs an average Ivy League student and the comparison is not particularly close. With that being said, that doesn't mean they should be giving suggestions to Fortune 500 companies at 23 years old with no real world experience. As mentioned previously, consulting companies are just a really expensive insurance policy. The value is in the name brand name and the service itself is pretty useless.
