At my current firm, been seeing a lot of people get extended until eternity on the same project / clients. One of the big draws of consulting was the variety, which I am not getting here. Just signed with an MBB. Will I finally get project variety or will I continue to work at one client for up to a year?

Yes. You will get as much variety as you want.

A year is really rare unless you volunteer yourself. 6M is typically max.

You will get variety if you ask. Though to be honest—variety tends to be a double-edged sword as it means 1. Shorter cases 2. New content which leads to much poorer WLB. So be careful what you wish for.

like

How is that math working? 20 cases per year = 2.5 weeks per case, equals ~ 190 hrs per case if assuming 75hr. Seems tight. Even with slide recycling and CTRL+F „replace client name“

My 2 projects so far have been 5 and 6 weeks each. Tons of quick projects and variety!

uplifting

I have gotten stuck on a 1+ year long project but I think it’s not typical. Though then after it ended tried something new and shorter and the wlb was much worse and I realized how great the long project was.

Hilariously my long project doesn’t have WLB so I feel like I didn’t even get the benefit 🥲

Thanks in advance!!!!
