Consulting work life balance is simply taking a toll on me! Is it true that industry jobs have more work life balance than a big 4 consulting? I like my work but I am working for long crazy hours and also over the weekends (pay isn’t justified at the same time)

Definitely more work life balance working for industry. Pay is not as comparable but just all depends on how much you value money over time.

I am a senior commercial banker looking at two roles in consulting, both with Accenture. One is Banking Consultant and the other is Banking Strategy Manager. Can anyone help me understand the difference in the two roles in terms of seniority within the org? Both job descriptions are laden with all the buzz words you’d expect but don’t really separate one role from the other. I wouldn’t leave my current position for less than 175k. If you can, please weigh in on that expectation. Thanks all. Accenture

Is it really that hard to say please and thank you instead of barking orders at me like a dog?

I know we are busy, I know this is my job, but dang, it is a lot more pleasant to work for the midlevels and seniors who say please and thank you and show a tiny amount of respect and appreciation.

I actively avoid working for midlevels and seniors who just bark at me, never ask, and never say thank you because it just shows they don’t care about being a half decent human.
