management consultant 

Someone who works for a management consulting firm. The consultant gets paid about 10% of what the firm charges the client for the consultants services. For example, the firm may charge the client $9,000 a week for the consultant but pays the consultant about $900 a week. A lot of consultants have never had any experience with the type of work that the client does.

The lifestyle at some firms consists of 100% travel. You leave on Sunday and come back on Friday. The travel and hotel are paid for and the consultant gets to keep the airline miles and hotel points. There is also per diem. The day can start at 630 AM when you meet with your team in the hotel lobby to leave for work. The clients site may be anywhere from 15 minutes to 45 minutes away. The clients provide the consultants with a makeshift office. The consultant may not get back to the hotel until 6PM.

The consultant is usually part of a team. The team leader may be someone with just a couple more years experience. Training tends to be on-the-job. There can be intense, almost violent, conflicts within the team and between a consultant and people who work in the client company.

A consultant is the lowest rung in the ladder, then comes project manager, then the guy who is managing multiple projects at the same time, then ultimately partner.

Most of the money is made from bonuses. A project manager may earn 65K but make a couple thousand in bonus money. Even people high in the ladder may make "only" about 90K but more than make up for it in bonuses.

It is difficult to explain what a management consultant does. There are some on-the-floor observations of what the client company does. There is interviewing of some people who work for the client. There is use of computers and installing new programs. The consultant recommends changes and try to implement them.The consultant seems to have to create his own work.

Management Thong 

Very shallow, thin, misrepresentation of an individual that tries to let everybody know around them they are in charge, but in all actuality, are lacking material, substance, walks around with their nose in the air, stuck up, no personality, and pissed off like something is stuck in their ass.
Jeeeez, what the hell is her problem today? Oh nothing, she is just wearing her Management Thong.

Management Consultant 

Glorified business hooker, typically hired by a consulting whorehouse, which pimps out its consultants to clients, who then proceed to fuck the consultants over until they're pleased (or until the consultants are dead), pay the whorehouse big bucks, leaving the consultant with little commission and lasting trauma.
Hopeful college grad: What are some key qualities I need to have be a management consultant?

B: I once stayed at a Best Western to get fucked by my client in bumblefuck Western Virginia everyday for a year.

Management Position 

When you are stuck between a rock and a hard place, and you have a lot on your hands.
That's the management position.
You're getting fucked by people under you and fucked by people above you. Literally.

"Hey man, great job on that management position, you really had your hands, mouth and ass full. I think you really enjoyed being inbetween a cock and a hard place"

management minga 

A slightly lower form of life than the common cretin. A management minga will typically enrol in generalist 'management' courses that don't teach any specific skills. Akin to learning how to breathe, the study of 'management' is practically useless. This has been demonstrated through the inability of these mingas to gain employment after graduation. I mean what are they going to manage? Are they going to be employed as as 'managers'? Most are also very unfortunate looking, hence the minga label.
"Hey what are you going to study?"

"I want to be a management minga. I cant wait till after uni- I won't have any specific skills and some HUGE company will hire me as a manager"

"Hmmm, I take it you couldn't get into anything else...."

"Umm, yeah"
