weird. i found this thread by doing search for "blonde" but dont see the word highlighted.
i believe it's been discussed before that mckinsey recruits m.d. students, it's a consulting company, and you'd start as an associate at $150k. I think it's a very bad deal. It's obviously much less than what you get after a good residency, and you also must work in a big city with a high col. As a dr you can work anywhere in usa. and it's consulting-that's the most boring area of business(it's not finance) and i believe the exit options suck. And they cut people every 6months. I think people who come from top mba's would never go into consulting, they'd go into hedge funds or venture capital or ibanking. If any of those options were available to doctors, then it would indeed be worthwhile... The only good thing about mckinsey is that it has offices in most capital cities of europe and asia. So if you're russian and want to work in moscow, that's a great deal. I heard the benefits in moscow are really nice-13% tax, they pay for your $2k apt in downtown, and everyone there respects a man with a $2k suit and you can have a mistress. But again, it's an expensive city just like ny, and i dont see why anybody would take a pay cut to work in business as opposed to medicine, not to mention that you'd probably get fired eventually.
And i dont understand why anybody would work in an insurance company. Really if they socialize healthcare and your salary becomes <$200k and you dont have any money saved up, best option is to kill yourself.
