Man, I'm an ex-consultant and consulting is so sad

I was at a club a few hours ago, piss drunk, went to the washroom and this random man in the adjacent urinal started talking to me.

He started telling me how he'd flown in all the way from France to here for attending a local league. How he wanted to piss so bad while standing in the long queue but he kept telling himself to control and finally got the tickets, something like that.

While washing my hands, he was standing there, so I asked him what's he doing in a club on a Monday night. Again, he tells me he has flown in from France and has some work in another city here. He kept asking me why I was dressed so well. I said that I was there with my girlfriend.

Man, I am a talkative guy, but the guy looked so lonely. Completely alone, had a belly, and I'd seen him try to talk to other strangers as well before me.

I asked him what he did, specifically, "what do you do, you keep mentioning France", and he proceeded to tell me how he worked at Bain, which he'd joined 6 years after his stint at McKinsey.

The constant mention of abroad (France), making every story sound fancy, trying to blend in, being conscious about his attire, it's just sad.

Not judging but knew a lot of people like him back when I worked at a T2 firm for over a year before I left due to horrible WLB to work at a seed-funded startup for GTM.
