Can anyone comment about consulting hours in Spain (MBB particularly) I’ve heard they’re much worse than in the U.K.!

The southern European countries miss any concept whatsoever of the value of time. This leads to idealized outcomes where people prioritize enjoying life over other things, but also negative ones like your boss or client having no respect of your own time, resulting in longer hours.

Can confirm pay is lower, hours are worse

Bain Madrid is better than this and has got a lot better recently. Outside PEG, 9-9 is normal (flexing with how long you take for lunch, a sacrosanct thing in Spain)

Worked in mbb Spain projects. As usual keep in mind there is a large spread. Avg for me was 9 am - 11 pm normal , 9 am - 1-2 am dd or crunch week, 9 am - 9 pm long transformations / pmos

Can someone help me with this? I had a low utilization since pandemic, I.e., ~sub 5%, but never missed any payments. Would credit score be impacted if only one line of credit with a low utilization?

Too few accounts currently paid as agreed

Scores consider the number of accounts that are paid as agreed. Your score was impacted because the number of these accounts is too low, or because you've missed payments recently on some of your accounts.

I just graduated from my bachelors and I have received an offer for 3k per month (incl bonus) from Accenture in tech consulting (level 11), which was my top choice. However, I am not very satisfied with the pay so I wanted to ask:
1. I might also get offers from PwC or Deloitte, are they likely to pay more?
2. Is that enough to live a comfortable life in Amsterdam Zuid?
