Why hiring from McKinsey always fails at startups

cohort comes in, and we think that's gonna be the answer. And then it's the Apple group, and then that didn't work out. Then the Amazon group. The McKinsey one never works. It never works.

It never works. Like, by definition, they would fail on my spectrum of, like most founders are like me. Like, they are skeptical of conventional wisdom. They're unhappy with the wealth world works in some way, and so they're kind of far on that spectrum of of rethinking conventional wisdom. And almost by definition, somebody who goes work for McKinsey is very conservative in their outlook.

And so I think that almost always fails. We're on this hiring kind of thread, so let me keep following this conversation.
