This is dumb. The whole point of McKinsey and Goldman is to increase one’s career trajectory.

I would never sell my soul for the sake of my “career trajectory”

To each their own. plenty of good people who used the job as a way to go on to accomplish good meaningful things. “Sell my soul” is histrionic imo

I agree that everyone forges their own path. I would never trade in my time and effort for a low ROI.

Personally, I just can’t visualize positive impact I’ll bring to the world through consulting or investment banking.

What would Napoleon, the Founding Fathers, or even Elon say about this?

I worked in consulting for 2 years. Fred Ehrsam worked in banking. 

It’s good training. ymmv

Agree. I worked in investment banking and trading early on. Very competitive and sets you up well. But would not recommend sticking around too long.
