Current McKinsey here. I don’t think anyone expects the current difficulties to last indefinitely. Its fairly well established that consulting struggles during times of economic uncertainty (but does fine when things are outright bad or good).

Would there be any advantage for anyone to state they feel the opposite to your view publicly? Seems like a career limiting move.

If all comments here were eyed with the same cynicism, we'd have no genuine discussions. And maybe we don't.

I don't think the people behind the opioid crisis should be trusted to be speaking in good faith.

I don't think people who are so bitter about not being in a position of power that they will say any hyperbolic thing they can about McKinsey should be trusted on the topic either
