M&A is not usually chill hours-wise regardless of company. Integration work can be but that's not on the strategy side.

You in deals? How long you been there and how brutal?

It can be pretty brutal to the point where work eats into your sleep schedule. On the better side WLB can be typical of strategy consulting, late nights during the week with light work on weekends.

Not much mitigation possible when the entire practice is wired the same way

It's gotten really bad recently

You guys aren’t giving me good vibes lol. Anything notably positive about the work experience or people at least?

And what’s the bonus payout like. For example, the MBA max bonus looks like $55k. What % actually get that much and what’s the payout for a more “on track” rather than “top” performer?

Thank you! Yeah definitely get that. Just looking for as much info as possible - the difference between 55 hour weeks and 70 hour weeks is a fuckton, so even knowing that is helpful
