Run.

Also, ask away.

Ya. This is a mistake…. Good company but going to the dark side with a public company so a lot of the freedom we have, you will lose!

It’s not direct client service so I’m less worried about losing many freedoms

RUN. no work life balance. it’s torture during just season.

I left Mercer some months ago but so glad I no longer have to enter in my time.

Might be off topic, but guys please, take care of your health. I've been rejected by all companies in the last 2 months.
I had my Walmart interview today and it went really well. And guess what? I got a rejection email.
I felt dizziness while working and fell down today.
I had to go to the doctor due to the anxiety and stress I was carrying since the last 2 months. It has affected my health.

It's important to push yourself to achieve your goals, but don't forget to "Live" in the process.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
