Any BCG folks that can share work hour / culture? Looking to make the switch and looks like I will be selected for an interview.

Currently working at T2 in Toronto, actually consultant level (FB not updated). Working about 9-11pm M-T and 9-6pm F, limited weekend work (DDs, otherwise 10% of weekends) for me. Mixed bag of P/P, some quite toxic, others are more relaxed. Constant travel outside of US (non-covid).

Thanks

Surprised to hear that these kind of hours are normalized..

Makes me less envious when you learn about the reality of what it takes to work at a higher tier firm.

What level are you interviewing for?

Consultant

Hours similar here. Maybe a little higher since COVID. Not much travel pre-COVID given high concentration of local clients.

What industries is BCG Toronto mostly focused in?

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing.

If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?
