The people. Working with one of the sharpest and driven individuals working on some of the most complex problems for the firm. Ability to see real impact of the work given the smaller size of the firm.

samarth, kartik arora are such dumb**s people. they are so toxic. kartik is a big time bootlick*r and such a nepo kid. he is very different when it comes to the identity and image. no self confidence, no skills but still thinks of himself as a management consultant. he should first learn basic management skills. samarth makes the world a hostile place to live in. you cant breathe the same air as his. he thinks people should bow down to him just like kartik does but actually his arrogance shows his lack of real skill and basic humility. these people make life hell. kartik should leave the team immediately.
