Sell consulting services. Doesn't matter if you're right or wrong, what matters is that you're paid.

Why do I associate TLC with, like, Trading Spaces and other domestic not-quite-a-game shows like that? Am I conflating it with something else? Also I haven't had "television" in decades now.
It used to be PBS for adults. I remember turning it on and there would be a documentary about like piano players and the connection to the brain.
Went down hill thanks to reality TV.

"What's your advice?"
"My advice is to not take my advice. That'll be 63 million dollars, please."
More like "tell me what you already decided to do, and pay me out the ass to create a justification for it so you can pin it on us if it's a giant fuckup after the fact'.

All consulting is like this. It’s a way to offload blame for your decisions by not making any in-house.
Our company paid a consulting firm 100k to deliver the same message our internal had been saying for 5 years.
Oh yes. The board member used to work for that consultancy.

A lot of high paying decision making jobs could be done much better if they were actually given to people based on their talents and not who they know or are related to.
The hardest part about the job is getting it

McKinsey:
For when you have no fucking clue how to do your job, and want authoritative, plausible deniability about that.
When you used to work for them and hope to return someday as partner, so you push as much business their way as you can.

Guess what the guys an McKinsey are doing...

I thought CEOs commanded wildly exorbitant salaries because they were super smart and made all the decisions. Why would a consulting firm exist?
In theory they provide advice in areas that the company is not expert in. E.g. a pharmaceutical company would ask a consultant to recommend and implement an accounting system.

Yeeep.
Its all an incestuously club of referrals and nepotism at the top of corporate America, who would have guessed.

Pichai was so bad, even McKinsey didn't want to keep him.
McKinsey likes to hire recent graduates who they suspect will wind up in high places. It builds them strong connections and lets them brag to potential customers as well as customers' stakeholders that they have cutting edge talent and that they hire the best and to tell potential employees that a few years with them is part of how you move from an elite educational institution into high levels of business or politics.
The worst thing this says about Pichai is that he was the sort of person who seeks to be on the ladder to elite careers.

Consulting services rarely are there to help figure out what to do, they're there to help convince other people that what you want to do is the right move.

The real skill isn't the advice - it's convincing executives that contradicting your previous $100M recommendation somehow validates hiring you again.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I had a friend who did consulting right out of college. Half the time he said it was his job to suggest layoffs so the people in charge could pretend it wasn't their idea.

C'mon now...
If they can't charge all that money to be wrong. How can they pay the US government the $722,000,000.00 they owe?
The Justice Department said McKinsey Africa had received credit for cooperating with its investigation and conducting anti-corruption training for employees. The $122,850,000 McKinsey has agreed to fork up includes a penalty it will pay in South Africa.
McKinsey is also in talks with the Justice Department to pay more than $600 million to resolve a separate investigation into the consulting firm's work helping opioid manufacturers boost sales that allegedly contributed to a deadly addiction epidemic, people familiar with the matter have told Reuters.
You think Purdue Pharma could have made all those
drug addictscustomers without McKinsey pushing pills for them?Won't some think of the Billionaires stock portfolios!
Fair, but like, nothing sells itself like opiates. [I'm actually aware they're the ones who encouraged the massive ad campaign focused on claiming oxycontin isn't addictive, though given Sackler previous behavior I believe in their ability to figure that strategy out on their own]

This kind of content taking off and the popularity of the Kardashians were the proverbial canary in the coal mine for the intellectual apocalypse we're dealing with now. We are what we eat, and what you watch absolutely influences how you think and act.
I used to watch Trading Spaces back in the day, and I remember when they started off and they'd actually do a good job, then I think there was an episode where the couple didn't like what they'd done, that got more engagement, then it became a show about neighbors ruining each other's homes, and thus was born reality television.
