Simon Kucher & Partners Anyone know what it’s like working at Simon Kucher & Partners from an hours/workload standpoint? Like is it pretty in line with most consulting firms, can say 40-60 in this case as an average range, or is it a sweatshop where you can expect to work 60-70 hours pretty consistently?

Got asked to interview for their healthcare team (not life sciences) and there appears to be a lot of upside with pay, promotion timing, etc. but definitely wondering what the catch is if any

Non-LS, things are not bad. Around 50hrs a week is the norm, with spikes here and there. Most people I speak to are very happy. On the LS side, I have heard that utilization over past 1-2 years has been much higher than historical norms - ie the firm is growing a lot

Turnover is actually pretty standard? You can validate this by going on LinkedIn and seeing average employee tenure. I think SK is around 2.7-2.9 years, around the same (or better) than most other strategy firms.

I think we have it pretty good.

LS is pretty overworked, dealing with multiple projects at the same time. I’d say in LS we work 50-60 hours a week and the 60+ do happen but are not as frequent. Healthcare is known to be more relaxed with less hours, but LS people usually try to avoid working in HC projects because of partners and quality of projects. Just my two cents, others will have different perspectives.

C1 I am not sure what bread and butter pricing is, but most of the work is on pricing and market access, yes

i.e. is this in line with ZS workload or is it LEK

Turnover is extremely high. Whats the point of future upside if you won’t be there to realize it.

@google lol no that’s not it.

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!

Moved to industry recently. I used to feel super guilty and anxious if I stepped away from my computer even for a bit. I had a micromanager prior to my current job which I think is why I still feel guilty if I’m not always online. Even for stepping away for lunch, I make sure I’m always checking my teams app on my phone in case something pops up. But they don’t, because people value their WLB here. How do I stop feeling so anxious or guilty whenever I take some time for myself?
