Bain & Company Contemplating a move from Accenture Strategy to Strategy&, or Monitor Deloitte. Part of my consideration is the assumption that WLB is likely to be better than at McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, or Bain & Company. Could any of you fellow European fishies shed some light on the validity of this assumption? Sharing experiences would be highly appreciated.

I've heard horror stories about WLB at S&.

I don't think you should assume that WLB is better at T2s than MBB. I'd actually expect it to be worse. Less support, not as far down the experience curve, having to work extra hard to compete against the MBB brand name etc.

B2, care to connect? I'd be interested in your experience as I'm in NL market myself as well

It’s pretty good, although varies by team. That’s the answer for every consulting firm.

Any teams in particular to be mindful of?

Speaking for Monitor depends a bit on the country but can assure its a good practice. Well recognized in some niches (es Life Sciences) and overall a good WLB. Culture is nice at EU level and there is not really the competition stress for promotions as we are growing. Pay is quite higher than the rest of D but not at MBB level.

Helpful reply, thanks. :)

Happy to help with a referral

Anyone else just sitting around waiting for the ax to drop? I'm a soon to be 2nd year corporate associate who has seen work completely dry up. My utilization held pretty steady around 50% immediately after shutdown, but August was below 15 billables with no appreciable work in the pipeline. Aside from letting people know I'm available and doing pro-bono/CLE, it's starting to feel like a serious "covidcation" leading to termination.
