Hi there,
As a former McKinsey consultant, I would say this person was likely expressing his/her own opinion and nothing more. The best part of McKinsey is the mutual respect between employees ("Firm members") and it's not part of the culture to look down on those from developing countries.
Yes, naturally there is a difference between roles (consultants, research, IT) but this has nothing to do with location.
As for exit opportunities, also should be no difference between location. In fact, you'll have a lot more exciting stories to tell about serving the government of developing country X than working on a London or NYC banking engagement!
And, really, if you think that the office you worked for at McKinsey is going to influence your funding success, then I suggest you put some more effort into your product beforehand...
