In my career, I've worked with and advised many large corporations. Usually it was in connection with their corporate responsibility, diversity efforts, community outreach, etc. I'm very proud of that work and gratified that I helped them do better in these areas.
In other words, I have no problem with Pete working with these major companies because the corporate world needs more people like him.

McKinsey consultants are hired to better the lives of corporate owners, not employees.

So you fault him for accepting a job at McKinsey? Or for not quitting when client was assigned?
