2s

A and B are walking from the lab towards their hostels. They are near GC.
A: Macha, take the right turn.
B: Oba da, the right turn only will lead us to our hostels.
A: Oh! I didn't mean that. I meant the right direction turn is what we should take. Yeah, although, in our case, the right turn is the right turn to take.
B: Ya, the right turn could be the left. Or the left turn could be the right.
A: But the left turn can't be the left turn
B: Yeah, it's an OR gate da. You input right and left; atleast one right has to be there for the sentence to be correct.
A: Ya.

Meanwhile, C and D are having evening snacks at Tiffanys.

C: Macha, think of this da. You write JEE, miss it, get to some local college, put hajjar fight for CAT, enter IIMB, you can get into Mckinsey easily. Consider a JEE top ranker, who puts insane fight, does well in IIT, assume he works for a few years and goes to Harvard, then wants to join Mckinsey. It's tougher for him than the other guy! How ironical.

D: Ya da. See, it's like a multistage turbine/compressor. How efficient you are at the end is a product of your individual efficiencies of all the processes. You need to be hajjar efficient in all the stages if you want the net efficiency to be high. Even if one cups, there's no point of the entire multistage process.

C: Yup. Right.

Man, I'll miss these IIT days. For the benefit of insti junta: B: Nai, D: Sania

Just what is McKinsey anyway? Why would anyone with ethics want to join a consulting company?
Or is my opinion of consulting from Office Space and Dilbert and hundreds of sources like this not very accurate?

CB said...

What crap.
How does Ethics come here?

CB said...

And I can give you examples which would 'question', similarly, as to why anyone with ethics would want to become a scientist, or even a mathematician ;-)

A couple of examples don't say anything. Moreover, what strategy consultants have done is colossal in comparison with what they have actually not done and claimed from clients. Otherwise they won't be making millions still.

I wasn't very serious (yet), just testing the waters :-) (Euphemism for "trolling"?)

Basically, I want to know: What exactly do consultants do? Besides state the obvious (to managers, to whom it may very well be non-obvious), spew meaningless buzzwords, and take money? (I'm still trolling, I know, but I'm also honestly interested.)

(BTW, "they make lots of money" only proves they're good at making money, not necessarily at doing anything. Simply consider Microsoft.)
