Guys there’s this boot camp that I came across that trains people to get jobs in Top consulting firms and has a fee plan wherein you pay once you get placed. I just wanted to know if someone here has any experience with this ?

Did a year in Singapore (based in US)... everything SM1 says is v true. Overall it was a fantastic year but that was 95% because of the travel and cultural experience rather than the job or work itself.
general culture in those offices. Any perspective would be appreciated thanks ya’ll!
South East Asia culture? Work... A lot. Huge number of hours in most of the larger economies,e.g., China, Japan, Korea. Travel is often Sunday to Friday.
It is also a more competitive and heirarchical than the US.
But the projects can be cool, really building capabilities from the ground up.
I couldn't recommend it enough if you are early career and don't have a family.

My brother is there. He likes it a lot but then again he’s still young and green. 😂 he does work A LOT.
I worked 70 hrs min, 80 avg, 100+ on rough weeks. I found the bcg teams to be fine in that even if they were slightly hierarchical I kind of went bull in a china shop and made sure my voice was heard. The issue is more with the client side- pain in the ass to get any decision made since everyone is always CYAing and deferring to other people, etc
I would say 60-70 is the absolute minimum to expect. In the US, most projects are Monday to Thursday travel with Friday being a lighter day and the travel somewhat counted as work time.
In Asia, travel is often on Sunday, so you can put in a full 8am-12-2am on Monday. Return home isn't until Friday so you don't really have a "light day". 80-90 would be closer to the norm, especially if you count travel, can easily go higher too.
Weekends aren't as portected either.
Look, the standard in industry in China is 9am-9pm, 6 days a week. You don't think the consultants are going to work less.p
Appreciate the insight @B1 and @SM1.
What are the typical hours? 60-70?
Does the hierarchical / competitive nature create friction among team members / less conducive to good work environment?
