Alix fish: do you work much harder / more hours in the Director role than you’d expect, given no junior support?

There is junior support, but yes that statement is true. Hours depend on project and the MD honestly. I wouldnt say all projects and teams are aggressive, but yes typically our pace is higher than other consulting firms

I came here from BCG into a director role and work far far less here. That said, as any consulting job it depends on who you work with.
Here at Alix your industry / functional team will define that while at BCG it’s more regional based. For example, the South System at BCG was notorious for working people hard.

I work about the same amount of hours coming from B4. The thinking is harder though. B4 felt more like cranking. Here it feels more like thinking, then cranking... but cranking only on things that matter.

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?
