Have a few friends who did. Most left within six months due to extreme working environment. Another friend went to work for Bain Tokyo, same story but he somehow survived for 3 years and found a sweet Google gig

I always wondered what kind of work MMB Korea did.

Have heard working in Seoul is tough on WLB; consulting makes it worse since the clients are also working a ton. At least according to Bain Seoul colleagues!

Classmates who went to work for MbB seoul all left within a year

What are the major differences and ‘watch outs’ you would point out to me? Could be anything from culture, to red tape, to compliance etc.
