The MBA class is much more endangered than developers. Power point slides, project plans, strategy reviews are all well within a LLMs capabilities.

Why hire an MBA when chatgpt produces x10 quality & volume at a fraction of the cost.

Because they actually have class solidarity.

This doesn't ring true. How are you defining this homogenous class?

Well, maybe it's less a "class" and more a "good ol' boy's club."

There are definitely clubs. Harvard clubs, Mckinsey clubs, Goldman Sachs clubs, masons rotary clubs.

But only people who did MBAs together are in the same club. The qualification means next to nothing, only the specific personal connections made.

I've witnessed some awful management consultants.
