> Many McKinsey go on to be executives in companies

Many, nay most, executives at companies couldn't run a lemonade stand. In the real world having the job title doesn't mean they have any skills or judgement let alone those required to drive companies.

Startups, YC, pretty much all of Silicon Valley exists because management at established companies are useless.

Jeff Bezos would be scrubbing toilets for a living if Walmart, Target or any of the big retailers had managment with 3 braincells between them in the 90's.
