> Oh and ppl like you are just cheap "brains" to give the optics of credentials for this sordid affair.

100% whataboutism, and I'm not defending the OP or McK, but I wonder what you think of the PhD "brains" hired at Google that end up being in charge of implementing a menu in Google Carplay.

What are they?

They have bullshit jobs.

I don't get what's the point of your question?

I'm saying the OP has a bullshit job which he fails to acknowledge. I'm also saying is that McK only reason for hiring ppl like OP is virtue signalling and nothing else. And finally that McK is mostly harmful to society.

I never talked about why google hires PhDs. :Shrug:

At Google many PhDs may end up working on compilers, language runtimes, vulnerability research data center power saving/cooling and so on. And yeah most importantly implementing menu in Google carplay.

So I guess difference is Google has many types of work whereas at McKinsey it is slick MBAs facing fools looking to part with their money.

I know of many CS PhDs working at McK doing MBA-facing jobs.

So really, I don't see the difference.
