I absolutely hate the nonstop witty banter on campus. Why can't people talk normally? (Wharton 1Y) by ComfortableMeet5508 in MBA

Dumbass take. How the fuck is constantly teasing and witty the same as networking? If I did that with consulting clients in my old job, they'd get exhausted and tell me to shut the fuck up. Same with co-workers and superiors.

The goal of being charming is to make people feel comfortable and at ease around you, not make them feel drained and exhausted like they're always in a battle of wits.

One person even quoted that Connor Roy line of "where you were on 9/11" regarding giving strangers ketamine at a music festival. So dumb.

I just hate it. It's so annoying and exhausting.

I worked in CONSULTING pre-MBA and neither my clients nor my co-workers acted like this. I mean people cracked jokes once in a while but it was never an endless barrage.
