I worked at an MBB for a few years. With CS background, mostly on digitalization topics.
Never before did I spend so much energy into truly trying to solve the problems our clients had. More than once, our recommendation was to go along with an idea that was already present within their organisation (presented sharply and as factual as possible).
But it also happened that we recommended going a completely different way to whatever their CEO, the VPs, middle managers or employees wanted, because we discovered they were so entrenched in their way of thinking.
I am grateful to have had the privilege to do this work.
