I’ve been in McK for 3 years. I don’t think is a great place for parenting. As soon as I have a kid I will quit

My experience (may differ to others) (this is for the last 4 months in WFH):

- Mon-Fri: I usually work from 8am to 12am (60%), from 9am to 9pm (40%) (I had to stay until 3-4am twice per month on average) I usually have diner and lunch with my wife once per week during mon-fri. The rest of the time I have to eat in front of the computer or simply not eat

- Sat-Sun: 2 hours on normal demand (60%), 6 hours (25%), 24 hr (15%). E.g. I had planned to have a family dinner at our home this weekend and had to cancel since leadership suggested to work this weekend

I have to be honest that I’ve developed a lot of skills in the firm, met incredible people, but at a high cost in terms of personal implications

Sigh. Do you have friends or families that are just like popping out kids and getting pregnant like it's eating dinner? Dunno how they do it but man sometimes it's just difficult to hear all these good news... knowing that we should be happy but like sometimes secretly thinking like can you pace yourself.. while some of us are having a hard time just getting 1!!

First time booking a ritz. I’m a titanium member do I have lounge access? If not how much are they generally and is it worth it.

I want to brag on my kid, but I don’t want to embarrass him, so I’m doing it here. My college sophomore found out today that he ended up with a B in his accounting class - which is remarkable, given that he received a 50 on his first exam and a 70 on his second. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him work this hard - and I couldn’t be more proud. The grades that come easily don’t impress me nearly as much as the ones that are hard fought.

Just wanted to share this with people who would understand. Had 4 IEP meetings last week. When the case manager asked one mother if she had any concerns she said her only concern was that her kindergarten son with autism loved me so much she was afraid of him being promoted and being out of my room. I told her not to worry, in our program I will have him for 2 more years. Boy that made me feel good.

Looking for advice/input:

I’ve dealt with ADHD my entire life, although was just diagnosed last year. Throughout my career (assurance>industry>consulting), I’ve been able to “outwork” everyone else in the office to counter the lack of focus and other associated faux pas associated with the disorder. Recently have hot a point where I can’t put in the hours (3 yo/fam), and my work has taken a major hit. Anyone in consulting/assurance have any methods for managing this when it comes to PM duties?
