You’ve been in consulting far too long when…

  1. You ask the waiter what the restaurant’s core competencies are.
  2. You decide to re-org your family into a “team-based organisation.”
  3. You refer to dating as test marketing.
  4. You can spell “paradigm.”
  5. You actually know what a paradigm is.
  6. You understand your airline’s fare structure.
  7. You write executive summaries on your love letters.
  8. You think that it’s actually efficient to write a ten page paper with six other people you don’t know.
