The Big Three are hitting the brakes. McKinsey, BCG, and Bain—those legendary consulting giants—just froze their entry-level salaries. The culprit? AI's relentless march into white-collar territory.

Think about it: these firms built empires on human analysis and strategy. Now algorithms are crunching numbers and spotting patterns faster than fresh MBA grads ever could. When even elite consultancies are tightening belts, you know the disruption's real.

This isn't just about three companies. It's a signal flare for knowledge workers everywhere.

The fact that AI will replace consultants has long been clear; it’s just that major companies are only now starting to realize it...

Huh, even the Big Three consulting firms are starting to lose value. Now knowledge workers really have a reason to worry.

Even the top hustlers can't keep up anymore—AI really is here.

ngl, the salary freeze is arguably just symptom management. these firms' entire value prop rested on information asymmetry—now that's evaporating. path dependency's a real thing though, they'll limp along collecting rents for a while still.
